Beautiful and intricate images can be created on the cheek with face paint.
Face painting is an art that can be performed during holidays like Halloween. Face painting is especially done at sporting events to get into the spirit of the event. Creating a full facial paint job is difficult, so focusing on the cheeks is a simple way to show spirit without having a face full of paint. Painting on the cheek requires a clean face, some face paint, brushes and sponges. You should also have some artistic ability to avoid creating poorly painted art.
Instructions
1. Pick an image you want to design and draw it on a piece of paper. Use your pencils to sketch the basic outline and then color it in with your colored pencils. A basic guide will make it easier to avoid mistakes before you begin painting on the face.
2. Wash the face thoroughly with soap, rinse it completely and let it dry. Cleaning the face removes any debris that can get stuck in the paint and ruin the paint job.
3. Use black paint to sketch the outline of your image. Creating the basic outline gives you a structure to paint inside. While painting, have the model pull back the skin on her cheek to keep it firm.
4. Rinse your brush and begin applying a different color to your design. Once you have finished with that color, rinse your brush, dry it off and apply a different shade of paint.
5. Let your image dry and inspect it for any damage or mistakes. Fix these mistakes by applying lights amount of water to the paint using your paper towels. Dry the cleaned area completely before repainting.
