Fast Track Your Learning

This is the course that I wish was available when I was a beginner.

It will save you from wasted hours trying to figure it out on your own, making rookie mistakes, and getting into bad habits! I've been there, and done that... but you don't have to.

Want to learn how to face paint but not sure where to start? This course is for you!

We begin with the basics, learning how to paint different brush techniques most commonly used in face painting.

Then we build on those skills, and together we'll face paint 10x popular designs for kids.

Just enough variety to please the kids at any event or occasion.

  ♥ Birthday parties

  ♥ Fundraisers

  ♥ School fetes and fairs

  ♥ Childcare / preschool

  ♥ At home, just for fun
