Painting in the style of your favorite comic book characters or funny animal faces at carnivals, children's parties and simple get-togethers is a great way to amuse kids and show ingenuity to adults. The main thing here is not even the ability to draw, but desire, and, of course, your imagination. And the rest is a matter of technology.
It is necessary
- To prepare paint you will need:
- 1/2 teaspoon water
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon thick cream for softening the skin, which consists of almond oil, spermacet, wax,
- Food colorings
Instructions
Step 1
So, first, let's talk about paint: of course, in this case, not every paint that is sold in stationery stores is suitable, because we are talking about children and such a vulnerable part of the body as the face, where the skin is very delicate.
Therefore, you can buy a special paint in a children's store or prepare it yourself.
Step 2
The cooking process itself is simple: you need to mix the cream with starch until smooth and add water, after which you need to add food coloring. By the way, do not forget, your palette must contain at least four to eight colors, white, black, yellow, red must be present and blue, since any other can be obtained with these primary colors.
Step 3
Now let's talk about tools.
In order for a masterpiece on a child's face to turn out, you need brushes of different thicknesses and lengths, at least four, and cotton pads, with the help of the latter, you can evenly paint a large area, for example, the cheeks.
By the way, it is best to use a separate cotton pad for each color of paint, this will help not only save time, but also the nerves of the artist himself, and even more so keep the fidget in one place.
Step 4
It is especially important to let each layer of paint dry to prevent the colors from mixing, so try to keep each layer as thin as possible. And to get a richer shade, just apply a few thin layers of paint, letting each previous dry beforehand. Be sure to stock up on wet baby wipes. With their help, it will be possible not only to correct the "bloopers", but also to erase the paint after the holiday is over. Moreover, cotton pads can be given to a child, thereby drawing him into the creative process. But, no matter how fun the painting is, it is still not recommended to paint the faces of people with sensitive skin, allergy sufferers and children under 3 years old. Also, do not apply paint on the face if there are scratches and abrasions on the skin or if the child suffers from any kind of skin disease.
