While I’ve never been the artistic type, I have found a new hobby that most people would assume you need some artistic talent to master. That’s certainly what I always thought whenever I would attend a fair, festival or school event that had someone doing face painting designs for the kids.
Actually, I always dreaded the long lines that were inevitable when there was a face painter at a local event. I would try to coax my children away, but they were always determined to wait however long it took to get a turn at having their faces painted with some masterpiece they had chosen. Most of the time, they were so delighted with the results, I had a difficult time convincing them to wash their faces in the evening when it was time for bed.
It never occured to me that I might be able to master some of these face painting designs, as I always assumed the people doing it had some sort of artistic background. So you can imagine my surprise when my daughter attended a birthday party for a friend and I saw that the face painter they had hired turned out to be the birthday child’s mom!!
When I inquired, she told me that she found this incredible e-book that taught her step by step about 50 different face painting designs that she was able to master with just some practice in her free time. Not only was this far less expensive than hiring a facepainter, she now had the skills to offer her services as a volunteer or to make some extra money doing other kids parties.
That night I got myself a copy of this ebook that she recommended and I discovered not only how easy it is to learn the face painting designs, but how much fun it is too! My kids and their friends are always asking me to paint their faces, and I love doing something for them that makes them so happy. I’ve already volunteered at a carnival for my son’s school and will be doing my face painting designs for my daughter s friends at her upcoming birthday party.
