Naturals in a forest effect.



I could not turn this picture away. So I borrowed it from the dreadlocks site.

With a little bit of  Red, Yellow then White and Orange paint  a master impression of bejewelled simplicity has come into being.

Step by Step

Had I painted this effect the steps I would have progressed with would be

  • The red around the eyes.
  • The outer plain red of the necklace layer.
  • The yellow of the necklace.
  • A white band around the top of the necklace yellows.
  • Then worked the yellow out from around the eyes - over forehead, cheeks and nose.
    •  Put aside the yellow brush -do not wash the colour off.
  • Reapplying another set of  reds in layers to the face while the yellow was still damp and working from complementarity bottom level layers upwards.
  • With a slightly smaller brush and full red paint apply as a lace effect directly around the eyes.
    • bottom first of both eyes.
    • As brush mixes with yellow you are working to completing the eye effects.
  • using the same red brush [mixed with yellow from the face application] the completed the red paint brush sized dobs around the necklace would be done. The yellow/ red mix that was still on the paintbrush is used for effect between the red and yellow layers at the front of the necklace. 
    • Start at the upper chests middle zone and evenly work your way out until no more combined paint on the brush.
      • As 'dobbing' occurs revolve the brush around to evenly use the paint up.
  • Go back to yellow brush and cover it with orange. Again working your way from the middle zone apply the orange allowing the appreciation of yellow to evolve through.

 Simplistic full brushes of paint dabbed around in concentric circles until the desired necklace effect was completed.

To be seen as painted

Black light bodypainting with fluorescent pain...Image via Wikipedia
The ability for a consumer to be comfortable wearing the face or body paint is that persons alone.  Trends and fashions all offer a samenesss and conformity the consumer may externally want to feel comfortarable with. What their friends, family or peers are wearing that day may not suit the consumer. Each persons skin tones and personality are reflected in the hues, tones and contrasts , along with the decorative add ons used by the painter.
.
The experiences gained over the last twenty years of face painting are categorized as follows:
  • The ability and fun of face painting has been something that I have shared among the community.
  •  Face painting it self puts both the artist and the consumer in a close up situation where respect, cleanliness and care are utmost importance.
The professional combination of having the skills to paint on a live movable emotionally trusting canvas not something that is thrown together with a bit of paint, a paintbrush or two and a slap of paint.  Creativity's a discipline that when applied correctly in attitude, forethought and two way communication transgresses both personal and community barriers.   Clear Vision Enterprises offers training and practice as both people on the end of the 'paintbrush' set up the illusion put forward.
