In my last blog post, I mentioned that I’d have another video for you by the end of the week, and here it is… Proof that anybody can learn to paint cheek art if they have the right help, steps and instruction. Watch my friend Chad (who doesn’t have any painting experience) as he attempts the ice cream cone design, after watching my step-by-step video tutorial!
Happy Face Painting

Woot! Way to go Chad!
I really like how your cone details came out…
Thanks for the vid and for taking on the challenge Chad!
Oh wow this is fantastic!! I have 8 little girls coming to my house for a bday party tomrrw and I truly think this will be the #1 choice! I was trying to figure out how i would have enough time to paint all their faces and then this morn i see this video!! Perfect timing as this would be just ideal for putting on 6 and 4 yr old faces while i’m trying to organize crafts and food and cake and presents!! Thanks Philadelphia, i think you might be my party-saver!! Staying tuned for the next update, but this one couldn’t have come at a better time!!
A very appreciative canadian!!
THANX so much!!!

fantastic…….!!!!!
I really enjoyed the video. I have never face painted before but now I believe I can do it. The ice cream cone appeared to be pretty easy. I would really love some additional lessions for beginners n the website. Thank you.
Awesome!! I’m an oil/acrylic artist and got interested in it almost 30 years ago because of a little old man who made it fun, exciting and easy. Since being introduced to your videos and my recent interest in blessing children with my talent that same fire has ignited the first time I was introduced to oils. Thank you for making it easy–your great visual aides and using Chad to demonstrate the simplicity that you so well bring out and explain to where anyone can do it..You have my interest and vote. Thanks so much.
thank you for all the free painting tips.It is simply cute and awesome.
He did a great job! my question is where do we check for replies when we ask you questions? and second is i just bought the suitcase with all sorts of paints and brushes so i can start painting professional or at least i will try. But i notice that the paints are really light when painting them on the face.. why is that? like for example the white is very light not as dark as i seen it when chad painted the ice cream cone.
Hi Philadelphia, tell Chad he did an awesome job. Before we know it he will be a pro too
Thanks! The video was very helpful as I’m planning my son’s 5th b-day. Could you make some more before next Saturday? Maybe a spider? Thanks.
Great Job Chad!
I tried this on my daughter’s cheek and your instructions were just terrific!
I look forward to your new guide!
Thanks
Good Job Chad! I think you’re a natural!
Alright! Way to go! The more I see of the different face painting designs, it makes me more excited about doing this for all of my neighborhood children.
I love all your work!!!
Chad, you did a super job. You could do this as a second job. It is amazing that cheek painting can be learned so quickly. The first one I did was amazingly good.
This is great, but I would like to see more boy cheek art,like a snake, spider or spider man made easy.

Looks pretty easy!! I tried and it is easy!! Thanks Chad and Philadelphia for teaching us.
The kids are very excited with face painting.
It was nice to see a man for a change in your videos. Thanks for showing the ice cream cone to us Chad.
I had such a success with my grandson doing our rocks and I have some photos of the unicorn I did while my grandson was doing his rocks and would love to send it to you; however, I am not sure how to send them there isn’t anywhere to add an attachment or a file to.
My grandson is giving the rocks to his mother for mother’s day and it was one of the cheek art designs and the same technique used by you that I used. We had such fun doing them and he felt more involved rather than just getting his face painted I showed him how I could use those designs to paint anything I wanted to. Thanks for all the designs, tips and tricks. I love doing them not only on faces but on all kinds of other things.
Patty
I’d love to see your grandson’s rocks too, Patty

Hi Philadelphia:
He did such a great job, and with good perspective too:) I always get all sorts of people to do facepainting too… I have an art table in front of town hall here in Provincetown, MA in the summer and all sorts of people from all walks of life do the facepainting (and painting too with watercolors) and they are amazed by what they can do!! Nice video!! I really really love your website:)
Just wanted to say I have been enjoying your short videos. I am an artist who is looking to do face painting in my area, I live in a rural community, from what I can tell there are not many in my immedaite area.

Thank you so much.

Hi, I have never face painted before, however I am interest. The idea came about at school a few weeks ago, a classmate of mine do face painting on the weekends. She shared her ideas and thoughts, and said that she love it. I looked at the video with you and Chad, you said that he never face painted before, so he demonstrated on you. It was amazing and he made it look so easy; he went into it with no hesitation. I only wish that I could have seen him paint the whole ice cream cone. By the way I watched you draw the four leaf clover, the butterfly and a few more. I will stay in touch.
Thanks
Gloria
Hi, I just want to know how much is the video workshop and how do I get into it. I already facepaint but love to learn more designs and how you do it and what sort of paint you use. I use Global but it looks like you use something else with the amazing colours you have. I just want to be able to go straight to the site and learn it also would love the book to keep as a reference. I live in a remote mine town/ coastal getaway beautiful so there are always functions and faces to paint but it is learning where to buy and what you can we access some stuff through Jacksons Art Supplies Perth or you try the net but you have to know what and where.
look forward to hear from you cheers Donna

You done a great job, and I admit it is to see someone is who not so confident (just like myself!!) try to do cheek art
Great work!!!!
I really like your website. I have bought some snazzaroo pait I also have some non-toxic paint that is for fabric and it is soft and flexable.I tried it out on myself,it works great I have watched all your free video’s and I’m practicing some .I love to paint and face painting is so forgiving.and loads of fun I also air brush but I’m not sure which paint to use. so I will wait on that.
