FOTD Santa Claus face painting

 HO HO HO!! I'm Santa Mom. LOL I went to pick my kiddos up from school like this today and my kids were so embarrassed. I think it was all in good fun. They are probably scarred for life.
 I told my son that from now on when he's naughty I am going to paint my face and pick him up from school. I'm pretty sure he'll be on his best behavior now. Hey, whatever works :)

Here are a few pics for your Christmas face painting inspiration.
I used Wolfe White, Red and Black. Diamond FX metallic white. Fab Metal. Starblend black

Monkey face painting tutorial

So many have requested a boys face painting design from me so, I have been thinking and thinking about it and thought I would try to give you some designs that children often ask for but always seems to stump the artist.
 The first of these for me was a Monkey design. So many monkey face painting designs are scary looking so I thought I would try to come up a family friends party  design for you. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and if you have any requests please leave them here on my blog.

Happy Painting,
Shawna :)

Oh who doesn't love to hate The Grinch? The Grinch who stole Christmas inspired this design. This has to be my All time favorite Christmas animated movie. I can watch it over and over again. When Jim Carrey played the role of the Grinch it just brought that movie to a whole new level. I still remember my oldest son making me watch that movie over and over again when he was little.
