Brush Technique - online course

"I have already been practicing brush techniques, lines, and drops yesterday and today! Amazing!! I am not really a drawer/painter, I only draw stick figures and swirls. But WOW!! With a couple of things, I got beautiful patterns =)"

"The course has been really nice, and I am already eagerly looking forward to the next course. 😉 ❤️ You have managed to inspire me in this art form. Thank you for that."

Katja

"I highly recommend this course to everyone who is interested in painting, regardless of their skill level! Especially for those who haven't practiced much in face painting and body painting. I believe that these skills can be very helpful even if you don't plan on doing a lot of body painting in the future. As a makeup artist myself, I think this would be great for both beauty makeup artists and theater makeup artists."

This course is not suitable for you if...

You want to learn everything immediately without practicing.
You don't want to learn techniques on your own, but instead require in-person instruction in a group setting. In this case, you should join my email list to be the first to know when I can organize live workshops again.

This course consists of 6 parts.

Activation, consistency and removal of the paint

Who will help you on this course?

"Hi!

My name is Riina Laine and I am a body painting artist and makeup artist. I have been working in my field for 22 years and have experience in all areas of makeup. But my special skill and probably the love of my life is body painting. Living and breathing art that enchants people of all ages.

My passion for this art form has taken me all the way to winning the World Championships in body painting, and my goal is to get more and more people to discover the magic of these paintings. I have been teaching face and body painting for years, holding workshops both in Finland and abroad.

But it wasn't easy for me at first either. Back in the day, many assumed that because I was a makeup artist, I could of course also do face painting. Guess what, I couldn't. Face painting is a completely different thing. I wanted to learn, but I couldn't figure out what to paint, how, with what, etc. Whenever someone asked me to paint, I got really stressed and the attempts were frankly terrible. Although having a background as a makeup artist was an advantage in terms of being able to handle brushes, it definitely didn't mean that I could create beautiful face paintings with them."

"But because I wanted to learn, I decided to start. I researched products and began testing them. I tried to look at pictures and think about how those paintings were made. I watched foreign instructional videos, but somehow I couldn't start with the right patterns and instead chose patterns that were too difficult right from the start. I got frustrated.

Fortunately, I ended up at the body painting festival in Austria and took workshops where I found a couple of good online courses that allowed me to follow the techniques of experienced artists. I got the right instructions on how to use the brushes and how to make sense of it all. It wasn't that difficult after all; I just hadn't realized the key points.

There's nothing more wonderful and rewarding than seeing how happy someone becomes from a painting you've made for them. It's the best feeling ever, and I want you to experience it too. You don't have to become a world champion to be able to create paintings that make people happy. Even a simple face painting can give someone a great experience of themselves. Whether it's an adult or a child, you can produce something that brings them joy like nothing else. And I want to help you understand the basics to make that happen."

"The course focused well on basic techniques and provided new tips for brushwork, especially for me who doesn't do much painting in my makeup artist profession. The techniques were simple but effective in creating good effects quickly! In my opinion, the course is suitable for both beginners and professionals who want to strengthen/practice their brush technique to become better."
