On Thursday the husband and I travelled to Bristol to attend a workshop with Heather Green from
Silly Farm. It was arranged by
Illusion magazine's Claire Pick. I really enjoyed the day and discovered how much I still have to learn. I was given loads of tips and pointers to improve my work. The other attendees were lovely and I even got to meet the FACE welsh area rep - which reminds me I need to contact her and sort out insurance!
I practised during the day using a mannequin head which was a bizarre experience. I have only ever painted skin and faces prior to this. The texture and amount of paint / water you need is completely different, and the heads stain loads!!
Since returning it has renewed my desire to keep on face painting - so look out kids, Mum is going to get you!!!
Here are the photo's I took of the day. Heather, Jennifer and Claire were all amazing!!
I am also going to save up and get some BAM stencils as they make the art so much more spectacular.
