I’ve been working on new designs specifically for the Chinese New Year Festival I’m painting at today. Come see me from 11-5 at the Asian Town Center located at 3820 Superior Ave., Cleveland, OH 44114. There’s entertainment all day long with dance performances, martial arts demonstrations, the traditional Lion Dance and fireworks! Try some yummy food and get your face painted by me! See you there!
Whenever I am painting away at birthday parties or family functions and have a gaggle of children around me watching intently as I transform their friends, I am constantly being asked “how did you learn to paint so well?” And my reply is always the same… “I practice all the time… the only way you get good at anything is to practice over and over again!” It’s true for everyone and everything… we all start at the beginning. And as much as I would like to only show you my perfect pictures and designs I’ve spent extra time on to get them just right, I think maybe it’s important to show you some of my practice work as well. Hopefully soon I’ll have more pictures of these designs, done on real faces in the real word, and hopefully they’ll be even better!
Here are a few photos of some new designs and techniques I learned at a recent face painting workshop, taught by an artist far more superior than me, because even professionals still have to practice. :)
Here are a few of the designs I painted at a local birthday party the other night. Lots of tropical flowers… probably wishful thinking considering it was snowing outside!
I’ve had some fun lately trying out new designs inspired by some other fantastic face painters from around the world! Here are my versions of some fantastic designs thought up by people I admire…
