Basic Butterfly Face Painting Tutorial

[@EricYoungvall]

Thank you Ashlea! Very elegant for such a simple butterfly. I like how you soften the edge with a dry brush. Going to add this one for sure.

[@NoOne-xx9xh]

I love this design. I hope to go into the face painting business professionally at this theme park because just the thought of making children happy as i was when i was a child getting my face done makes it less of a job but of a happy skill. I have some skill but i want to expand my horizon and your videos truly are simple and easy to get started with. Thank you for all the hard work that you do and i cannot wait to catch up on the other videos i have missed.

True sign of a professional. You made it look so easy! Watched this a few times and then tried my first one so confidently! The side mirroring my drawing hand wasnt TOO bad, but that other side was atrocious LOL! Thanks for the video. Looks like I'll be practicing this for a while!

[@SOULarLioness]

Those colors are GORGEOUS!

[@AshleaHenson]

Thanks so much! Yes I always use half a sponge, I find it easier as it fits better in the creases round the eyes and nose.

[@skywebb4021]

this helped me out so much and going to be a great idea to try out when i do face painting for the jubilee weekend next week thank you so much your a life saver and super talented.

[@duddinw8805]

This is true to the title-so simple and concise. I am so grateful to you.

[@TheSurprises711]

You make it look effortless! I love the simplicity and how little of the face it actually covers - absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you for the tutorial :)

[@AshleaHenson]

TheSurprises711 Ahh! Thanks very much :)

[@susiepummill9391]

i love watching and rewatching this video- it is so very helpful and I appreciate your time and sharing.

[@calypsowarrior9061]

Best tutorial I seen for face painting. You are a born teacher. Thankyou

[@elviraarciniega7909]

Stunning! And you make it look effortless. Thinking about joining the face painting world. Although I know for a fact that there's amazing talent out there, my goal is no to compete, but to be a good artist and be able to work with kids. It's my passion! Thanks!!!

[@bjad3032]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing. I would choose a different placement for the antennas on an older face.. They would really accentuate my "11s" (deep lines there). But that's an easy fix to relocate

[@Yabumotokrystalkandz]

Please recommend your brands of paints, brushes, and glitter for face painting. Please do more tutorials on fast clean up when you've made a mistake on someone's designs (in need of ideas to work faster). Thanks and keep up the great work. Thanks for always responding to all your viewers and fans!!!! I'm a huge fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@carolinabalbin5710]

[@MesereteUzondu]

I Love all of your work Ashlea, you were one of my inspirations to start doing face painting, and you still continue to be an inspiration up to this day. Thanks a lot! Much Love! Bless!

[@tomgor4288]

❤o ED

[@AshleaHenson]

You can do if you find it easier, I just prefer one at a time as I have more control over the smaller tip of the sponge. Whatever works for you x

[@MrsTwinks75]

This is lovely Ashlea. I never outline in black for little girls but I think I will try as this looks so pretty. Thank you x

[@AshleaHenson]

Light Green and Blue look lovely, especially with a dark Blue outline.

[@nedaabbasi]

This is absolutely lovely and easy! Thanks for the tutorial.

[@soleil4634]

Wow that looks so amazing good job!

[@anncollins8087]

Ashlee you have a great talent and enjoy watching you face paint your own face,,that is amazing...question: where do you buy those great spounges and where do you buy the glitter......another question: When you are first developing a character face; what / or who do you paint on to begin to make a prototype?

[@hughesevents]

Superb, you make it look effortless.

[@Frogluv64]

"Whilst" I like your accent, I absolutely love your work!! You are Awesome!!!

Jeanette Wicks Haha. I think I might say 'whilst' a little too much! People keep commenting on it :D

[@angelaacero8504]

beautiful design

[@lanag300]

Could you tell us about the tools and type of paint you use please?😊

[@Rockysbeats]

wow that's magical and a little bit mystical :)

[@corinne9004]

very cool 🎉❤I love it

[@breezy501]

So great! Love your work!

[@Laura-Lee]

It's a simple and beautiful concept, but I have the feeling MY hand isn't going to be as cooperative to me as yours is to you. Mine will probably end up like a pink/purple blob.

[@jswatson94]

How do you get your white paint so opaque? I also have trouble getting perfect round dots. Wrong brush maybe? Thin paint?

[@AshleaHenson]

jswatson94 I really load up a lot of paint, so it's very wet but not so much that it will drip.

[@nanacybersliver8411]

This is beautiful and so easy to follow. Thank you in advance.

[@marinaleajakarta9895]

What brand of face painting do you use?

[@zleach131]

Just love your stuff!!!!!!!

[@tharamaha3722]

its amazing but i want 2 know where do i get this face painting kit?

[@danamariehassanali7352]

i am very new at this and i would like to know what kind of paint did u use. and did u use makeup or paint for the body of the butterfly?

[@miniperez69]

really beautiful

[@kfmassingham5186]

Do you have any suggestions on how to keep kids still when you're painting them?! I practice lots of my designs on myself at home and they look fine but when I do them on kids, they don't look too good because the kids move around or squint when they close their eyes so it's quite hard:( ...really love this design by the way!

[@derwinsadiwa4608]

hi what brand of make-up and brushes r u using? it just so amazing. i wanna give it a try :)

[@Norasein2]

Beautiful!!!! You're a wonderful artist! But I no longer use glitter of any kind. Accidentally got some into my eyes and the glitter had to be removed by lazar because the pieces became in-beded deeply into my eyes. Now a small cataract has formed over the one "glitter" spot. better me then a small child

[@AshleaHenson]

Thanks a lot. You should definitely start, it really is the best job xx

[@vickywatts6429]

I love you art work keep up the good work

[@phoenix0909]

I'm having problems doing good dots, they always turn out more like blobs. Do you think this is a brush problem or a paint problem?

[@ashleycatrillo5303]

I find the best dots come from a nice waxy paint (diamond FX, wolfe, tag) and a small brush (a 2 round). Anything else makes it blobby.

[@roromas1681]

Hello please where can i have the same quality of painting? Thank you

[@kristithompson3212]

Love your videos! Thank you for doing them. Curious...I noticed you place your glitter at the end, how do you get it to stay when the base paint is dry?

[@nastyface07]

Hi Ashlea wonderful work I enjoy your tutorials. You probably already answered this question but if you don't,ind telling what brand of paint do you use? Thank you. Keep the vids coming!!! :)

[@AshleaHenson]

Natalie Gonzalez Thanks Natalie. All of the products for this one are listed at the end of the tutorial :)

[@JetSet614]

Ashlea Henson Thank you! :-)

[@jasonwatson3951]

Ashlea, what is your secret to getting those perfect white dots? I have not mastered that yet. Also, are you just dipping a dry finger in dry glitter or is that some kind of gel? Thank you so much for sharing these videos! God Bless.

[@rajshreesaha05]

What kind of paints we should use ?

[@Alissabbw]

My first face painter I followed

[@AshleaHenson]

I spritz my sponge :D xx

[@sarahclawson7874]

Ashlea Henson Thank you!

[@joeytafoya9779]

I try it its cool

[@Druuna55]

I subbed because you are amazing!

[@AshleaHenson]

Thank you, I'm pleased you like it :)

[@abbybojorquez9350]

Can you do it like with the crayon paints.?

[@AshleaHenson]

No you wouldn't be able to achieve the same look with crayon paints. You can't get the lines sharp enough.

[@malyonsaeed3213]

[@anncollins8087]

Ashlea you have a great teaching video: thanks. Question: I ordered TAG body art and it just arrived. The little box of four colors only weighs one ounce and is appx. 1/2 " deep. Not as much quanity as I thougt was on the picture/oh well.. question: how do you make this face paint which is rather thick and gummy like....flow smoothly ..if I loaded my paint brush with these colors I am going to need some additive to make the paint glide over the skin as shown in your teaching video. I paint quite often with acrylics and definitely know how to double load.I know how to do good stroke work and can easely understand and follow your instructions. The big question is how do I make this "clay" flow like paint? I am trying to get ready to face paint the children for Holloween and need your help..Thank you, Wakefield

[@caitlincaughlan3950]

You get the paint wet. And that TAG face paint, even if it looks small, will last a long time. Hope you figured this out by Halloween! Have fun painting!

[@rachellindsay1971]

Love it, thanks for sharing!

[@AshleaHenson]

Hiya, everything is listed at the end and all links are in the description box. Give it a try, you'll love it :)
