Lynne McKay Face Painting Class
Kansas City, Kansas, USA
My class will consist of sponge and brushstroke techniques enabling you to achieve quick and easy designs that will WOW!! your customers and make the children beam from ear to ear!! The class will be aimed specifically at beginners and intermediate level Face Painters. It will be a full day class of around 3 hours in each session.
The morning session will be focusing on Sponging techniques. You will learn how to use your sponge to your advantage, choosing colours that go well together to suit the tone of the child’s skin, blending techniques and double and triple loading sponges.
We will then have a break. Depending on the venue I’m hoping to include some lunch within the price, this will not only satisfy our tummies but it’ll be a great opportunity to all sit down together, have a chat and share experiences!
The afternoon session will be Brushstrokes.
You will learn how to test your brush for consistency of the paint, learn how to make sure you don’t get those “muddy streaks” when using black and white together (as an example) and learn how to achieve swirls, curls, and perfect crisp clean lines.
When you are finished with the class, your skill will be much improved enabling you to get those bookings that you’ve always wanted!!
The class will be priced at $90 per person with a $50 deposit required from each person who wishes to attend made payable to myself via paypal.
