For some, the idea of face painting may intimidate them at first if they are not naturally artistic or have never picked up a brush. This shouldn't worry you as there are lots of books out there that you can use, start with beginner's books and work your way up to more advanced.
It won't take long to see how many books there are that have easy face painting ideas for you to copy. Try to pick a book that has simple designs and start practicing them. If you are without a model then you could paint on your own hands and legs or simply on a piece of paper.
Once you gain confidence painting simple and uncomplicated designs you can start painting intricate designs too. Make sure you have FDA approved face paint for peace of mind. Other things to consider - you will need to have the correct brushes and sponges for face painting and know what things are to be avoided but once you have all of the materials and knowledge then it becomes an easy face painting activity.
Books will always have some easy face painting ideas for you to copy but knowing that boys and girls have different likes and dislikes will help you to have a wide range of designs to choose from. Boys prefer monsters of Spiderman designs whereas girls like princesses, flowers or bunnies.
Having a portfolio of designs ready for when the boys and girls arrive will help you out a lot
To help you have an easy face painting session I recommend having all of the designs you can do out on display. This way, the kids can choose the design they want before they have even got to you. This will speed up the whole process and avoid the kids sitting in front of you struggling to decide what they want on their face.
