I'm a twister and have many years experience with line work. I appreciate you using a stop watch, but me personally I don't care about how long it takes! For those who are just starting out, don't be stressed over time. There WILL BE parents that WILL try to rush you. This IS what I DO for fun! Even with long lines; spend about the same amount of time visiting with each child as you "perform". They are the "customer"! Parents actually appreciate it more that you've taken interest in their child and not just pump out results, NEXT! This will also get extra business for parties, so do have plenty of business cards handy!!!
Thanks for your comment! You make a very good point. In this instance, usually, my "customer" is actually the Event Venue that hired me to paint for several (or many!) hours at a "Free" cost to the public! They review my work to make it sure it is quality enough to be done quickly and have satisfied customers. They hire me because I paint more children per hour than many of my colleagues! It's a different niche of the market that I have trained for and can subsequently charge more for (it is HARD work going that quickly). I always chatter to all of my beautiful "canvases" as I paint to let them know how special each one of them is! The parents are most happy that I am able to paint more children, rather than spend a tedious amount of time on each child while there is a long line waiting (especially as it is free for them!) On the other hand, put me in a birthday party where I can do exquisite detail and only do 10 kids per hour, then I'm happy there too!
@@eldamar86 Thanks for the reply! Since you explained your gigs, I understand your method. It reminds me of a company Christmas party my brother and I did; we are both clowns also... he chose to make only a handful of simple balloon sculptures and sent most of the kids to me that wanted more complex designs! This event had at least 500 people with that many kids... this didn't cost the families anything, as it was a company event. I guess I've got the wrong mindset though... Since they don't pay, they can wait ( if you really want a balloon)! Having said that; there was a long line for Santa!, not after the clowns showed up!🤡💗😂
There is definitely a different mindset between pay-per-design, and pre-paid events. Like Esther, I do a whole lot of corporate events, which they really don't care about how fancy the face paint is, they care about the number of people you paint, so having quick designs like this is extremely important. Also for brand-new people who are just getting out into face painting, this is valuable information. I know a lot of balloon twisters, who do do elaborate designs for birthday parties and whatnot, but do very quick and simple designs for large crowd events. To be honest, most of my corporate jobs would not hire me if I was not as fast as I am.
These videos are amazing, I started face painting a few days ago and I practise on my siblings faces with their choice of face paint. It takes me about 10 minutes for each, so we quick and simple ones are amazing for me! They like complicated ones like Spiderman and a shark on their mouth's, it takes so long for me, especially Spiderman, when I saw you doing Spiderman I felt like I was doing so many things wrong, I'm new so I'm only using cheap face paint and out paint brushes. I'm hoping for Christmas I will get a face paint set, these videos are amazing, I'm going to subscribe, oh and keep up the good work! 😉
you bet! There are so many out there that can help with technique and more elaborate designs... I'm happy to help with the simple ones we need to get done quick! I am more than a beginner and I still use these during really busy festivals. Glad to be of help!
Im a beginner ... im super happy to discover your YT channel... i love your quick videos, thanks for sharing your talent with us and share a lot of knowledge!! S2

Sorry for not replying sooner! The Rinsewell can be found in many places. I got mine from Amazon. The rest of my brushes are held by a holder that came with my kit. The kit was bought at Harbor Freight.
Sorry for not replying sooner! I bought two clear cutting board mats from amazon for a couple bucks. I used a permanent marker to draw a face on the more bumpy side. Then I flipped it over and paint on the smoother side! You can also buy premade ones from the Sally Ann Lynch Etsy shop... hers are amazing!
Well... maybe use a photo on your computer, put your paper over it, and trace gently. Then go over it with a marker. Then put your thin cutting board over it and trace the face on the smooth side so you can paint the rough side. Hope that made sense. I used a family member's face with her permission cuz I think she's pretty... :)
Does anyone else find it takes FARRRRR longer to load the brush with the split cake than is being demonstrated here? I can’t load enough to paint on skin in three or four swipes. Can anyone else?
Please reangle your camera so we can fully see what you are doing, rather than watching the back of your hand! It's such a shame that we can't fully see
I will do that next time! Thanks for the suggestion. There are several tutorials on technique that others have done so you cam get a better idea (my fave is SophiesTips).
True! Because it's a practice board and sux. On kids, and real skin, there's no need to double dip if you do or properly and really load your brush. Or you just rinse lightly in between.
I would love to see more 1 minute designs. These were awesome! Thank you for sharing!

Thank for your vidéos i love it 👍
i loved!! please more videos :)
Will work on some soon! This was a side idea since so many artists struggle with quick designs for festivals and other places you need to work fast!
Could I ask you what is that thing you have to hold your brushes??? could you tell me where you got it please?? And THANK YOU for you videos!!
Sorry for not replying sooner! The Rinsewell can be found in many places. I got mine from Amazon. The rest of my brushes are held by a holder that came with my kit. The kit was bought at Harbor Freight.
Great video.
Where did you get the practice board?
Sorry for not replying sooner! I bought two clear cutting board mats from amazon for a couple bucks. I used a permanent marker to draw a face on the more bumpy side. Then I flipped it over and paint on the smoother side! You can also buy premade ones from the Sally Ann Lynch Etsy shop... hers are amazing!
wonderfull
Where to buy this rainbow paint???? I'm from India 🇮🇳❣️
I'm not sure who shipping to İndia, but my favorite vendors are JestPaint, ArtFactory, and SillyFarm. I believe Amazon.com also sells versions!
Hi. Please share more similar fast designs. We need ideas all the time. Thanks.
I will do my best soon. I have moved twice in a year since this video, and am catching my breath!
Do you ever do more abstract designs?
Not artistic and would like to make a face outline for practice. How can I obtain an outline to put on the practice board?
Well... maybe use a photo on your computer, put your paper over it, and trace gently. Then go over it with a marker. Then put your thin cutting board over it and trace the face on the smooth side so you can paint the rough side. Hope that made sense.

Problem is your double dipping
True! Because it's a practice board and sux. On kids, and real skin, there's no need to double dip if you do or properly and really load your brush. Or you just rinse lightly in between.
