Face Painting Designs Inspirations with Pauline: 002 – Apron to Face Painting Design

Hi everyone, here’s my next post. Thanks to all the comments. It’s always nice to hear your thoughts. If you have any suggestions on what you would like to see turned into a design, please leave a comment…I’m up for any challenge.

Looking around my house, I came across an old apron that was probably my mothers. It had a flower pattern that contained two different flower designs.

You could choose just one of the flower designs as a motif, making your own pattern to create a face painting design. I have chosen to use both flower designs, and created a face painting design for the side of the face.

Changing the colors slightly and the angles, the design wrapped nicely around the cheek bone and up around the forehead. I  have chosen not to have a background color, however it would be easy enough to sponge the red on first, let it dry and then paint the design on.

Here is the final result. It’s a very simple design, starting with the white, then yellow, red and finally the black. I used a thin pointed brush, don’t worry about being precise, just be confident with the strokes and make sure you have your brush loaded with paint. The most problem people have in creating clean lines is not enough paint, having to go over a line or restart a line, so make sure you have enough paint to paint a line in one go.

Thanks for your company….remember to be inspired and create. Your next inspiration could be looking you in the face.
