How do I upload a picture?

by JBax on Mon Sep 07, 2009 11:14 am

I'm jumping in late but this is fun! I'm trying to remember, but I think this was one of my first attempts after I got my good paints.

To upload a pic... Click the Host an Image button, Browse to find your file, and upload, then another little screen pops up. Hit the copy button (I've only picked the middle one). Click the Host an Image button again to make the screen go away. Then Paste the info and the picture will appear when you preview or save the post.

But...woah...that's a big pic. Oh well.

JBax...I really like that, and now you can probably expand on the design idea, adding more technical aspects, like details, multiple colors, and metallics/shimmers. An elaborate version would look AMAZING in interferenz colors I bet! Especially using Shannon's precious bach blue.

I don't think there's any more Bach Blue left to be purchased on this continent! Good idea on the metallics though... I forget I have some when I'm painting. I think I'm going to re-organize my workspace to put those in front. Here's a more recent version, like last year...

This was my first. Apparently blending and decent linework were as yet unheard-of concepts... Embarassed

I know a couple of places now that have Bach Blue or can get it...pm me.

Ok... you don't know bad until you see my first two faces... they truly suck:

the really funny part is that these are both painted on my youngest who won't let me paint her anymore.... I wonder why?

SOme generic tips, as well as explanations on how to put your stuff on different sites, Adwords, etc.. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't learn much painting there...

Hello, ColorMyWorld ... I, too, took Philadelphia's class Neutral

... in May ... in Philadelphia! Somehow I started receiving her "tips" ... and, when this was listed ... I signed up! ... I met some very interesting people ... very talented face painters ... but, like you, I was somewhat disappointed ... Don't know exactly what I expected ... Suspect

but ... whatever it was ... well ... partly, I guess ... it wasn't well organized ...

venue changed twice ... the community center room booked was too small to hold the attendees ... a quick "makeshift" room was add-on ... another "substitute" face painter was pulled from the audience [the "hostess" for that area] ... to demo to those put in the spill-over room ... Too much wasted "down" time ... scratch

Switching people back and forth from one room to the other ... Setting up more tables, more chairs, etc. ... Last minute "huddles" between the two ladies ... because I flew in from Chicago ... Rolling Eyes

I had additional expenses ... flights, hotel, rental-car ... meals! ... Hmmmmmmmm ... a learning curve ... to be sure! ... What did you think? Question

And this is the second thing I painted once the Snazaroo set came it (I'm actually quite fond of this one)

I haven't

(I have been to Island, but that is a little different..)

by Shannon Fennell on Thu Sep 10, 2009 4:52 pm

I've been to Oahu (X 2), Maui, Kauai and the Big Island...

And I still have about 6 rolls of "film" in the drawer with my very nice 35mm camera... And I have a package of Polaroid film in the fridge for my Polaroid camera - which, when I started doing make-up was how you tracked continuity... Now that they have quit making that film I'm saving it to put on e-bay to pay for a retirement home.
