Halloween Face Painting for Beginners Workshop. This one is for adults only and is a slightly longer and more detailed session as adults learn at a faster pace and can fit more practise into the time and concentrate for longer than children.
Get ready for all those Halloween events by learning the skills to bring face painting to life! Whether it’s your children, your friends children at a Halloween Disco or Party – or just the main event of Trick or Treating – you’ll have so much fun creating scary designs on faces throughout the Halloween season.
In this fun and relaxed session, you’ll learn how to use water-based face paints to achieve bright, vibrant and popular designs with confidence.
During the workshop you’ll cover:
- Which paints to use
- Essential hygiene practices
- Sponging techniques
- Using colour effectively in your designs
- Brushwork basics
You’ll then put your new skills into practice by creating Monster, Zombie, Witch, Warewolf, Pupkin and Spider – to name just a few designs, with plenty of tips and ideas to help you develop many more designs at home.=
All professional paints and materials are included, along with a helpful list of recommended supplies and where to source them. You can practice on boards/paper, yourself, or a friend.
Suitable for anyone 16+ – no experience needed. We use only professional, skin-safe paints and follow industry-standard hygiene practices. Everyone will take home their practice sheets, plus the confidence to keep creating.
