Laura, you have such a talent not just as an artist, but as a teacher. You explain so well and so detail. I love this type of videos. One day I will be like you. ( Dreaming, but if I can learn 50% of the great that you are I will feel good ). Thanks for this wonderful and helpful video. God bless.

[@fairyfox]

Thanks Iris, Funny, but I love making this type of video! Some times I feel like I need to teach a design every time, but I love just focusing on just a small piece, because I feel like that can make all my designs better.

[@pixiepainting5459]

You described this so well!!!

[@fairyfox]

Thanks Pixie- I love trying to get it just right- I feel like I add swirls to almost everything!

[@starrhupp4262]

Thank you for this video.... It made me so happy to hear practice my swirl drills.. I think I'm gonna say that in my head a billion times every time I do A swirl.

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

[@amandagermany5933]

I'm glad I found this. I'm doing my first face paint session this weekend. I have done full face halloween makeup and have been an artist for many years, but I'm totally new to the fair type face painting. I definitely need all the tips.

[@fairyfox]

You are going to love it- expectations are so low- and it is really fun!

[@pranasakhishah6121]

Thank you!! Definately my weak spot need to practice

[@fairyfox]

Hi Prana, you are welcome! best way to practice is to try and love when you get to do them, instead of avoiding them- it makes all the difference.

[@cassandrak9753]

[@dustie1hap256]

[@tootiesdecor]

You teach better than some Faba instructors. They need you for kidvention and Fabiac. ....I'm just sayin 😁

[@fairyfox]

Thanks for your kind words. I am so glad you are learning!

[@daniellewilliams6651]

I struggle with having enough paint on my brush to complete the swirls. I live in Arizona and there are days your brush is dry after loading before you even make it to the face, haha. I legit have to keep a small cup of water in my hand to rewet every line. It's SO HARD to get a good amount of paint loaded and not be drippy!

[@fairyfox]

True that!!

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Face painting women wears a nikab and this is the top left missing from yesterday

[@fairyfox]

Thank you! I am so sorry, I wish I spoke spanish!!

[@francescaireland7056]

Hi Which brushes do you recommend for line work? I’m struggling to find a good one, especially in the small sizes

[@fairyfox]

I like the loew cornell 7000 series. Really I recommend trying just one of a bunch of brands to find the kind you bond with. If you know other painters, it can be great to try each others brushes as a way to see before you spend a bunch of $$$

[@g231084]

Can you share type of brush (brand) and type of paint ... I bought 3 different sets and i feel like they're not good .. maybe it's my hand 😅 but i think qualify brushes and pain make the difference

[@fairyfox]

Sillyfarm.com has great products and excellent customer service. They can help you figure out what you need.

[@cinnamonbroom7510]

Could you say what kind of paint and brush you are using in this video?

[@fairyfox]

Yes for sure. I use wolfe white and loew cornell brushes!

[@Marcielle_Makes]

This may be a stupid question but what type of paper do you practice on? Is it just construction paper?

[@Marcielle_Makes]

P.S. I LOVE YOU AND APPRECIATE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! Thank you for sharing your passion.

[@fairyfox]

I am using a craft paper- it is #110 solid core smooth. I ended up with some from a sale, and I love it. ( I wanted to answer you both places in case other people had the same question!)

[@fairyfox]

You are welcome!

[@starrhupp4262]

Afraid you started something I'll start singing that kind of stuff. When I'm face painting kids... These are your face paint drills
