Face painting is a wonderful skill. It’s also incredibly well-paid!

A skilled face painter can earn between €50 and €180 per hour!

I always ask myself why more people don’t do this job! At every single event we attend, face painting is one of the most popular if not THE most popular attraction and that would be for children’s and adult events. We have worked in places where people will queue for up to 2 hours to get their children’s faces painted. Doesn’t that speak volumes? But whether you would like to learn a wonderful new hobby or if you aspire to become a professional. It is a highly rewarding talent to master and great fun.

Take our face painting beginner course in the comfort of your own home. With step-by-step guidance and video instruction, we have crafted an in-depth online workshop from years of experience in the industry.

Our goal is to teach you in the easiest way possible. We know that learning something new can be daunting, so we have broken this course down into 6 chapters with 22 lessons and a bonus lesson. It also comes with free downloadable templates and multiple links to get you started on your face-painting journey!

One of the most important parts of the course is you will not only learn how to face paint and all the tips and tricks that go with it but in every lesson we will also guide and explain what not to do. This is a very important part of our in-person workshops as there are so many common mistakes of the novice face painter. If you know these mistakes from the start half the work is already done! Each video explains everything in detail with repetition and slow-motion close-ups so you can really understand the techniques such as hand placement, paint consistency, perfect sponging and much much more
