How much fun is face painting!! Hi from Victoria Australia.

Hi face painters! My name is Tammie from Victoria in Australia and I am just starting out. Am face painting at our local market to get some experience and have done one party so far. Would have to say my favourite part of FP is the look on the little faces!! Have learnt most of what I know from Youtube (thank god for Youtube) and playing around. I am doing basic faces, and just discovered Split Cakes. Who's magical idea was that? Thankyou! My technique needs heaps more practice and I'm learning everytime I paint but mostly it's just fun. Started off using Derivan and have now added TAG. Really like the TAG but not always happy with the Derivan. Seems a bit 'watery' at times. Have a few questions to post so look forward to all the help I can get. Really loving looking at all you clever people and your beautiful work. Shames me but inspires me at the same time. Thanks in advance for your help and support. Onwards and upwards!!

welcome to the forum. Happy to have you with us!

Hi Tammie and welcome! Whereabouts in Victoria are you?? I'm a Victorian too....we should meet up sometimes for a jam session and a wine!

Cooey Rose! I want jam buddies too!

Welcome to the forum!

Maybe we need a Vic jam session Rose and Justine? (And any other
Vic people) Open to ideas!!

A hearty welcome Tammie! It is fascinating to have folks from all around the world adding info and interest to this site! (suddenly Markham, Ontario, Canada seems very small indeed!) I have to agree with your last comment...this site "shames and inspires" me too....the talent out there is just incredible!!! I think that the local art galeries should host an exhibit and sampling of face/body painting! I think it would draw a huge crowd!!!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome everyone! Feel all warm and squishy.

Welcome to the forum and have fun!

welcome from another aussie!
