I've been putting off learning facepainting for over 2 years. I bought a basic beginners kit of around $200, and it's just sitting there. Finally decided to look for tutorials and found yours. They are SOOOO very thorough with clear communication and cover HEAPS. You've done and amazing job...thank you sooo sooo sooo much!!! VERY generous of you!
You are amazing!! These tutes [ALL of them] are so CLEAR & CONCISE & EASY to understand! I had been struggling with how to load my brush & how to do the brush strokes and never knew how much difference different BRUSHES actually made! I have been a newbie & stayed a newbie for 2 years using wrong slow bad techniques! I only recently decided to give this another go & try again to get good results fast. Your quality vids & channel has helped me so much- I now feel more confident and can get out and about and use these AMAZING techniques that you so eloquently have displayed...I'm practising on my arm all the time now - I'm so CHUFFED with what I am now able to do! You've unlocked the missing piece of the puzzle for me! ...THANK YOU SO MUCH SOPHIE! Faery Dusted Blessings
Bakki Boo Wow, what a wonderful message to read! You are so kind and I appreciate your feedback very much! I'm happy that my video motivated you to continue painting and helped you to improve your skills. It's true that having good brushes and quality paints help a lot - but there is no substitute for practice! It takes time and patience, keep going! I wish you the best of luck and again... thank you!
So glad I found your channel Im a nail tech by trade but ive just been asked to do face painting for my kids junior football club this weekend. I have ordered a starter kit and hoping I'll succeed haha 😄
@SophiesTipps thank you it was super successfull a few parents were shocked to find out I had never done it prior to the day haha I'm now keen to expand my knowledge in the area and look at offering face painting for other events :)
One of the better face painting tutorials on UA-cam. Thank you! (I've been face painting for over 30 years, but I find in life, we are constantly learning no matter how much experience we have!)
I love how well you explain everything! I'm new at facepainting and you have equipped me with things I should know!! Love your videos, keep them coming! Love from Greece!
Myrsini Meg You are so welcome! I'm always thrilled to hear that my videos are watched in so many countries around the world :) I wish you a lot of fun face painting! Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions along the way.
Thank you for sharing your secrets. They have been very very helpful . The plastic sheet over the picture of the dummy head for practice is BRILLIANT!!
+Kari Kidd Glad you like it! It's actually a face on a piece of paper that I plastified using a laminating machine. It's very stable that way and easy to clean with a sponge.
deathoftheauthor Wow, thanks! It's not my original idea and I honestly don't know where it originated. I found it somewhere online and adopted it right away... Good, cheap and easy ideas are worth spreading :) Thanks for your feedback!
Subscribed after watching this video. I know that you will be able to help me with your simple easy to follow tutorials. Thank you so very much. I was feeling so down and thought I would never be able to do it until I found this xx
Christine Thompson All beginnings are difficult, don't give up :) I'm happy if my video helped you get started. Don't worry, every talented face painter was a struggling beginner once. All it takes is practice and patience.
+Lucia Lopez Thanks Lucia, I'm glad you found my channel! I am also still learning every day. I think it's a process that never ends - and so it should be 💜
I am still pretty new to face painting and I have learned a lot from just watching your videos. You explain everything so well and do a wonderful job creating your nice clear videos. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with all of us. Learning from other people is the best way to improve upon the wonderful art of face painting!
Marion Esposito That's so kind of you, thank you! My goal is to give the maximum amount of information within each themed 10 minutes video - which is not always easy because there is so much to tell :)
That was super helpful for brand new beginner like myself. I just got done trying to make a simple heart using a one stroke and it was way harder than I thought it would be. This kind of breakdown of the brushes in combination with various strokes is going to be something I keep coming back to. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful! It's true, at the beginning it seems like the brush doesn't want to "obey" to the hand but trust me, with practice it becomes a little bit easier each time and one day you will do it without even thinking about it! Keep up the practice and have fun! And thank you for the lovely comment.
You are so amazing...once i start watching your videos i watch at least 5 in a row...Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful knowledge in your cute accent...
I've been facepainting for a few years already but I really enjoy your insight, it's neat seeing how others work and helps me learn new techniques. Thank you for this :)
Katie H Thanks a lot for your kind message! I just uploaded a new one showing how to paint a creepy 3D black widow spider. I hope you will enjoy that one too :)
I REALLY LOVE THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING I WAS FEELING HOPELESS UNTIL I FOUND THIS AMAZING AMAZING VIDEO THANKS PLEASE PLEASE KEEP DOING THIS VIDEOS YOU HAVE MY THUMB UP THOUSANDS TIMES 😄
You're an amazing artist. I love drawing, and painting, and I think body painting and face painting is something I could really get into. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and inspiring my creativity.
SuperInspire Pierce The technique is slightly different because - I'm sure you've noticed - the skin doesn't "react" the same way as paper or canvas do. However, if you know and like to draw already, I am sure that the transition into face and body painting will be easy for you. It's a lot of fun to use one's creativity in many different ways. Keep it up and have fun!
Just absolutely on point, From the novice to the new face painter on the block. Viewing this video and practicing her strokes frequently will take your skills to a higher level that Kids and adults alike will be quite impressive. Thank You! Iwill continue to support your shared knowledge. Keep on painting on faces. Much appreciation and love.
+Delores Thompson Wow, this is one of the nicest comment I ever got, thank you so very much for your kind words of encouragement! I appreciate your support very much and hope that you will like my future videos just as much.
You are very talented, I wish I was as good as you in face painting. I always end up with a mess on my face. But you have helped me very much . Thanks!!
Marilyn Alvarez That's great, I'm glad I could help along the way. Don't worry, it wasn't easy for me at the beginning either. Just keep practicing and you will see how fast you make progress!
Thank you for sharing I love it, I am a ceritified makeup artist and do special FX, but have been wanting to do face painting for a while so I am doing it now. I love the way you teach you make it easy. God bless you
+Christopher Clark You're right, face painting is an art form like any other and it takes quite a bit of practice to get a hang of it. Thank you very much for your feedback! If you want to learn how to make the split cakes yourself, you might enjoy this other video I made: ua-cam.com/video/VK2Tdt5rdwI/v-deo.html
it's divine. magic in your hands. I like the way u explain it properly. superb. n special thnx tht u r spreading art ... keep doing. n I'll keep watching
Your videos are so helpful, thank you so much! I only just bought my first set of face paints yesterday and can't wait to get started. Best wishes from Australia!
May Ebony That's awesome, welcome to the big family of face painting artists! I am sure you will like it and hope that my videos will help you a little bit along the way. Have fun!
Oh wow, You are a real expert. I would like to do face painting like you do. I will watch this video again and again to learn how to do it. I appreciate your art for real.Thanks a lot for your demonstrations!
It's for people like you that I created this channel so I am always thrilled to hear that my work helps new painters get started or improve their skills. Thank you so much for your feedback.
I have just discovered your videos and would like to say Thank You Very Much 🎉🎀🎂🎡🎨. You are clear and precise and i have learrnt so much in just the two I've watched. I'm about to watch more but just wanted to say thank you, thank, thank you, before I start. So from Australia "BONZA MATE!"
Sharyn Wallace I love to hear that my videos are being watched on the other side of the planet :) I would love to visit your country and maybe one day I will get a chance to do so. Thanks a lot for your sweet message!
I will try to upload new videos soon but I had personal issues lately and didn't have time to work on my channel. Thanks for your nice comment. It means a lot to me.
Thankyou for teaching me what to do with the brushes I have! LOL I have been using the wrong ones for flowers etc. Soooo easy to watch you! Please keep the videos coming....Much Loves from The latest subscriber :)
melodypops2010 There are several ways use each brush. I have a lot of brushes but I actually only use 2 or 3 of them all the time. It's not absolutely necessary to have tons of them but instead find a couple that work well for you. Thanks for subscribing, my next video will probably come around mid-May!
+Scot Campbell Thanks a lot! I actually made another video to explain how to make your very own "blendy" color combinations. Have you seen it? ua-cam.com/video/VK2Tdt5rdwI/v-deo.html
Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I've only had a couple of face painting events and so far I have enjoyed it immensely. Such great info and tips! I will definitely print and laminate a practice face. Also I never considered calligraphy as a needed skill, but teenagers would love that. Maybe you could elaborate on that, and other lettering styles? What about your setup during events? I feel like my table ends up so disorganized after only a few kids:/ Again, thanks for sharing!
Lily Torres Thanks so much for your feedback, I'm glad you find some of my tips useful :) Yes the teens love to have names or initials written on their arm but unfortunately I'm not very good at it.... There are a few videos on UA-cam where the basic lettering style is explained. Some other face painters (like Wiser for example) do really great stuff in graffiti style and I always thought this would be something I would want to learn at some point... There are so many great things being done all over the place, it's hard to keep up :) However, I personally don't think I am good enough to do a tutorial on that... As far as my face painting table and setup is concerned, I will do a tutorial where I show and explain everything I carry around and how I organise it but I have a few other videos in the pipeline before that one. But don't worry, it's definitely coming! Thanks again and have fun painting!
I recently started face painting and looking for ideas and tips. Your video was really helpful. I want to watch all of your videos. Just a question, when using different colours, do I need to use different brushes? (If I am using a square brush or any other type). Rinsing and using the same brush takes much time. Please advise me.
Awesome! Thank you for your feedback! That's a good question and the answer would depend from one face painter to the another but personally I have about 4 brushes of my favorite sizes (1/4 inch square, #3 round, 08 petal, #1 round and a few more). I do not have one brush for each color, this would be crazy and not possible to handle on the job. However, I try to keep one of each brush for white only, one for midtones (light blues, yellows, pinks, greens, ...), one for black, only and one for darks (dark blue, purples, reds, ...). Brushes are quickly rinced and the color comes off in seconds in water so the change of color is not difficult. However, I find it important to dedicate at least one round brush to black and one to black exclusively. These two colors are anyway the colors most often used for line work. When it comes to sponges, I have one sponge per color "sitting" withing the color cake it belongs to. I will try soon to do a video showing my kit because I get many questions regarding my organisation and I think it will be easier to show it than to try to explain it in writing. I hoped this helped in the meantime. Take care! ☺️
Rebecca Bowell Thanks for your feedback... I'm running a bit behind with my video line-up so I anticipate that Nr. 5 will be online at the beginning of May. I have a lot of face painting jobs at the moment so it's hard to find time to keep up with my UA-cam channel at the same time...
Oh my Goodness, this is so sweet of you, thank you! I personally think that there are so many other artists that are 1000 times more talented than me. You're an angel!
Sophie you're a master, love how effortlessly you achieve all your creations, however when I try it goes horribly wrong. I am having trouble finding the correct brushes here in the UK do you have the names of the brushes you use?
Hi there and thank you for your kind words! My favourite round brushes are from the brand Loew Cornell (the ones with the yellow handle). A great place for face painting supplies in the UK is thefacqepaintingshop.co.uk (you will find a link in the video description). They carry tons of great brushes and I am sure that they would be happy to provide you with assistance if you don't know what to get. However, I just need to point out that - although using quality tools is very important . it isn't what matters most in face painting. The single most important thing is to practice. Just like in most endeavours, it takes time and efforts to achieve good results. I always suggest practicing a bit every day, even if it's only 10 or 15 minutes. Concentrate on one thing each time. For example one day you practice blending colors together, the next you practice your teardrops and so on. Don't forget to take pictures of what you did each time so that you can monitor your progress and get a clear view of what went well and what you need to improve. You will notice some improvement soon, I promise! I would recommend you get a practice board to begin with, here is a video with more info in case you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/H_GQ4eSFTKA/v-deo.html Good luck and happy painting!
I just now found your channel and I'm not sure how I survived without your tips and tricks! You walk through the steps so well!
+Shannen Barite That's so good to hear, thank you! So glad you found me 😍

So glad I found your channel Im a nail tech by trade but ive just been asked to do face painting for my kids junior football club this weekend. I have ordered a starter kit and hoping I'll succeed haha 😄
Good for you! You will do great if you already have some artistic talent and know how to use a brush and combine colors. Good luck!

As far as my face painting table and setup is concerned, I will do a tutorial where I show and explain everything I carry around and how I organise it but I have a few other videos in the pipeline before that one. But don't worry, it's definitely coming! Thanks again and have fun painting!

I recently started face painting and looking for ideas and tips. Your video was really helpful. I want to watch all of your videos. Just a question, when using different colours, do I need to use different brushes? (If I am using a square brush or any other type). Rinsing and using the same brush takes much time. Please advise me.
Awesome! Thank you for your feedback! That's a good question and the answer would depend from one face painter to the another but personally I have about 4 brushes of my favorite sizes (1/4 inch square, #3 round, 08 petal, #1 round and a few more). I do not have one brush for each color, this would be crazy and not possible to handle on the job. However, I try to keep one of each brush for white only, one for midtones (light blues, yellows, pinks, greens, ...), one for black, only and one for darks (dark blue, purples, reds, ...). Brushes are quickly rinced and the color comes off in seconds in water so the change of color is not difficult. However, I find it important to dedicate at least one round brush to black and one to black exclusively. These two colors are anyway the colors most often used for line work. When it comes to sponges, I have one sponge per color "sitting" withing the color cake it belongs to. I will try soon to do a video showing my kit because I get many questions regarding my organisation and I think it will be easier to show it than to try to explain it in writing. I hoped this helped in the meantime. Take care! ☺️
Explanation calm...surface used is good...thank you

Hi Sophie, huge thanks for the four brilliant videos! Have you any idea when no. five will be released???
Rebecca Bowell Thanks for your feedback... I'm running a bit behind with my video line-up so I anticipate that Nr. 5 will be online at the beginning of May. I have a lot of face painting jobs at the moment so it's hard to find time to keep up with my UA-cam channel at the same time...
AWESOME Face Painting - makes it look so easy - those brushes are like MAGIC!! Cool
Thank you so much. Yes, having good brushes is very important, no question. But practice is even more important.

Sophie you're a master, love how effortlessly you achieve all your creations, however when I try it goes horribly wrong. I am having trouble finding the correct brushes here in the UK do you have the names of the brushes you use?
Hi there and thank you for your kind words! My favourite round brushes are from the brand Loew Cornell (the ones with the yellow handle). A great place for face painting supplies in the UK is thefacqepaintingshop.co.uk (you will find a link in the video description). They carry tons of great brushes and I am sure that they would be happy to provide you with assistance if you don't know what to get. However, I just need to point out that - although using quality tools is very important . it isn't what matters most in face painting. The single most important thing is to practice. Just like in most endeavours, it takes time and efforts to achieve good results. I always suggest practicing a bit every day, even if it's only 10 or 15 minutes. Concentrate on one thing each time. For example one day you practice blending colors together, the next you practice your teardrops and so on. Don't forget to take pictures of what you did each time so that you can monitor your progress and get a clear view of what went well and what you need to improve. You will notice some improvement soon, I promise! I would recommend you get a practice board to begin with, here is a video with more info in case you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/H_GQ4eSFTKA/v-deo.html
Good luck and happy painting!
