I've been painting ages and still adore it. The little ones are magic, I wanna be a tiger/monster/princess/butterfly, quick, careful sponging and brush strokes, some glitter, then a look in the mirror and they're in Wonderland, so special.
I also believe strongly in a professional approach and am a founder member of FACE, the face painting association, whose aim is to promote face painting as a safe and professional activity and to raise and maintain a standard of face painting, ensuring correct training and use of safe products and techniques by establishing a body of independent face painters which follows an agreed code of practice.
