What You Need to Provide

Space – Depending on the type of painting, airbrush or other, and the type of event - Party, corporate promotions, festival – you will need to provide a washable surface, a couple of chairs, water, paper towels and something for the artist to drink (at least it’s a nice offer to make).

Activities – Facepainting is done one at a time. It can take a while (most of our designs take 3 to 5 minutes) so it is best to plan other activities for the children while faces are being painted. The best activities are the ones that allow children to pop in and out as their turn for painting arrives. Many children (and adults) can literally sit for hours watching the painting... but best not to count on it.

Supervision – Keep an eye on the children, including deciding the order for painting. The artist needs to concentrate on the painting and should not be expected to determine who is next nor keep the kids from getting unruly. Personally, I usually start asking the next child in line what they want painted a minute or 2 before I am finished with the current face just to minimize time by making certain the next child has decided what they want before its their turn.
