Steps Followed By A Face Painter Brooklyn When Working

By Jaclyn Hurley


Paint has been used for many years to do different jobs. These have included decorating houses, making paintings and also preparing people for different ceremonies or events. In modern times, children like to have their faces decorated for fun. A face painter brooklyn can be hired to decorate children's faces and add more joy to them.

The various equipment which are necessary to paint a face should be collected together. They can be purchased from different shops depending on the desired variety required to do the work. The designs will need different shapes of brushes and colors of paint. One should confirm that the colors do not cause harm to human skin.

One option of getting the right colors is to purchase all the ranges that one may require. The other way is by creating the shades one wants by adding one color to another one. This however is not easy and may require one to have practiced for some time before being able to do it perfectly.

Chairs on which the customer and painter sit should be simple but comfortable to both of them. Hair clips are necessary for keeping long hair away from the face during painting. Clean running water and soap is supposed to be within easy reach for hand cleaning between customers so as to prevent infection transmission. Fanning the paint will help it dry faster and a mirror will come in handy at the end for the client to admire themselves and approve of the work.

The customer is first asked to choose the picture that they would like painted on them. These should be in a book or in form of photographs of previous work that has been done by the painter. Small children need to be assisted in making a choice. The painter should have a clear picture in his mind of what he is to produce and the steps that he will follow.

Some customers could be sensitive to contents used in paint manufacture. Their guardians should be asked to confirm that they do not react negatively to these contents. The paint job is better done on a clean skin and so any oily substance that is on the face should be washed away. Things that might interfere with painting such as long hair and earrings can be moved aside or removed.

A base paint is first applied using light colors. Darker colors are applied in order of their shade. Small details of the image are done with fine brushes. Unique effects can be added to the face as desired by the customer.

Hygienic wipes should be used to clean out paint that has ended up on unintended areas when the painting is complete. A gentle blow of air aids in quick drying the paint. It is important to ensure that one layer of color is dry before another wet one is applied. This will prevent undesired mixing which would lead to new colors that would spoil the final image. Clients should be allowed to look at themselves at a mirror so as to approve work done. With their permission, pictures of the work can be taken for record purposes.

One can do face painting as a hobby. It can also be done as a professional career. If it is professional, it is prudent for one to get an insurance cover.
