BRUSH TECHNIQUES

When painting lines, pretend your brush is dancing. The more fluid and

confident your brushstrokes are, the more pleasing the design will be.

Practice your linework often. Use your arm or thigh to warm up on and try

new techniques. Hold the brush like a pencil and close to the end for more

control. Sometimes, it helps to use your pinky finger to steady your hand.

Nice linework can really save sloppy sponge work.

Remember, he who paints most, paints best. To become a quick and

accurate painter, practice and focus!

PAINTING THIN TO THICK TO THIN LINES

Using this type of line (right) gives your face paintings style and depth,

not to mention they will look fancier.

DRAWING STARS

Whether painting a five-pointed star or a starburst, creating the perfect

shape is all in the wrist. Simply flick your brush lightly, stroke by stroke,

to create any star shape you desire.
