Chinese New Year – Elaborate Eyes Face Painting

FABAIC 2015

July 6, 2015June 28, 2015 Amanda Destro Pierson

For those who aren’t familiar with the face painting world, FABAIC (the Face & Body Art International Convention) is THE face painting convention in the United States, and I had the pleasure of attending this year! It was AMAZING!!! Several hundred face and body painters from around the world, all in one room! Here are just a few of my photos from the event.

My favorite thing I learned at the convention was painting gothic jewelry. It is SO MUCH FUN to paint! Check these out…

My first painted jewelry piece at FABAIC

Gothic Dragons Eye Necklace – This piece took me about 2 hours to paint at the jam, but it was so much fun!

Another new trick I learned at the convention was how to paint graffiti style! Super cool! I need to keep practicing, but I hope this will be hit at festivals.

And the other first for me was entering a face painting competition! I didn’t win, but it was really a rush to compete. I am definitely looking forward to doing it again in the future! The theme was “The Orient Express”.
