Me and "the Bros"
What a freakin' blast.
This past week was so much fun!
I helped co-produce the Wolfe Brothers Workshop here in Orange County with Rebecca who invited them out. It was a face painting workshop where we were honored to have these brothers (twins!) to come out and teach us their techniques.
I can't remember the last time I laughed so much or so hard - and for those of you who know me....I have a pretty darn loud laugh!
Besides cutting up a lot, they taught us a lot. But the thing that impressed me so much, was their method of teaching. They were very encouraging and honest about our results and never made you feel like you wouldn't get it. Most of us creative types are perfectionists by nature, so when trying something new you want it to be right, right away. A line they kept saying was "the first is the worst" meaning it will take some practice to get it. So I never felt discouraged and they empowered us with so much.
If you are a fellow face painter reading this, then I highly recommend you take their class if you can. Even if you are a beginner or a seasoned painter you WILL learn a ton!
Here is a link to the photos. You can tell just from viewing the photos what fun these guys are!!!

Mark Reid's Face Painting Workshop

I haven't had the chance to update this blog in a while, so I wanted to post about the amazing face painting workshop I assisted with coordinating and attending mid-January. Mark Reid is an incredible and gifted face and body artist, and we had the pleasure of getting to see him in action. He taught approximately 14 face painters from this area. Here he is painting step-by-step a "hulk" monster design on my son who was one of the models.
We had such a great time, and Mark is just the funniest, sweetest guy and was so helpful in guiding us along to better our brush strokes, lines and blending etc. If you are a face painter and can take the opportunity to take Mark's class, I highly recommend it!
