Petals And Portraits

Sacrificial flowers...........It was all for the sake of ART!
Greg brought me home flowers one sunday morning. So we sacrificed the flowers for the sake of Art! These flowers came from the 3 for $10 buckets at Publix. If you attempt to do this, take your time..... It takes several hours for flowers to wilt, ha! No, really take your time, sometimes it really is in the details!
Flowers are not perfect, they have imperfections just as we do. So, if you cannot get the petals or leaves exact, it makes no difference. You don't want to overcome your features with the petals, but make it look as if they are naturaly falling on to you. The products that I used for this are as follows:
Real Flowers (Fake can be used also)
Ben Nye aqua cakes
Snazaroo face paint
Mica mineral eye shadow
Also, if you can, do your painting in natural light, it will allow you to match the colors better. Although I have approx 25 different face paint colors (diff manu's) there are still colors not available or just ones I have not purchased. So work with your colors, mix them. Create what you want or what you need... Have fun, if you have questions let me know, I will help you in the best way I can.
