Our face painting tip: the witch

Painting instructions:

Step 1:

Using the green paint pencil from the kids’ face paint kit, draw an oval shape over the whole face. Then mix a pale yellowy green colour, using green, yellow and white, and paint the space with it, using the broad brush.

Step 2:

Now touch up the eyebrows with the thin brush or the black paint pencil from the kit, and paint the lips. After this, draw a star onto one cheek and join up the single points to a spider’s web. Then you can either draw a spider inside the web or on the other cheek. For this you draw a longish body with eight little legs. Then you can draw a cross on its back with the white paint pencil, and dab on two shining eyes at the end of the body with the red paint pencil.

Step 3:

Now, you can add some „revolting“ warts on the face with the green or yellow paint pencil, if you want. With this outfit you can definitely “bewitch” other kids or big people.

Our tip:

A little cushion on the shoulders as a “hump”, a lovely black witch’s hat, and a magic wand or a broom make the outfit just perfect.
