Flower Design Steps

 BUTTERFLY AND FLOWER FACE PAINT PROJECT Step 1


STEP ONE: PREPARE YOUR BRUSH

To create a beautiful flower and butterfly face paint design, you'll need to start by preparing your brush. Begin by double loading a round brush with white paint, and then dip the tip into red paint. This will ensure that you have enough paint on your brush to create the perfect flower petals

STEP TWO: CREATE THE PETALS

Now that your brush is perfectly prepared, it's time to start creating those gorgeous flower petals. Using a gentle touch, press the brush onto the skin with the red tip facing upwards, and then lift the brush straight up to create the first petal. It's important to be careful not to move the brush around too much, as this can over-blend the colours and distort the delicate petal shape.

As you continue to work, repeat this process five times, gradually moving the brush around in a circular motion with the red tip facing outward. This will create a stunning floral design with an almost magical quality.

STEP THREE: ADD A POP OF YELLOW DETAIL

Now that your flower petals are complete, it's time to add a touch of yellow to the centre of your design. Using your round brush and a small amount of yellow paint, carefully create a small dot right in the middle of the flower. This simple addition will make your flower truly come to life, adding a bright pop of colour that draws the eye and makes your design even more stunning.

Remember, it's important to use a light touch when applying the yellow paint to ensure that your dot is small and precise. With a steady hand and a bit of practice, you'll be able to create a perfect centre for your flower every time. So go ahead, grab your brush, and let your creativity shine!

STEP FOUR: PREPARE YOUR BRUSH FOR THE LEAVES 

Now it's time to add some beautiful leaves to your design! To create the perfect leaf shape, you'll need to prepare your brush with a new blend of colours. Using the same double-loading technique, begin loading your round brush with yellow paint. Then, dip just the tip of the brush into the blue paint, being careful not to mix the colours too much.

STEP FIVE: ADD THE GORGEOUS LEAVES

Now it's time to add the final touch to your design by creating beautiful, delicate leaves. To get started, use the same pressing and lifting technique that you used to create the flower petals, being sure to keep the tip of the brush facing outward.

As you work on your leaves, focus on creating a light, feathery effect that captures the beauty and movement of real leaves. Use the tip of the brush to create thin, elegant lines that gradually taper off at the ends, creating a graceful leaf shape that's both realistic and stunning.

STEP ONE: CREATE THE BUTTERFLY WINGS AND BODY

To create a stunning butterfly design, begin by using the same double-loading technique that you used for the flower design. This will help you achieve a beautiful gradient effect that's perfect for creating butterfly wings.

Using your round brush, create four petals as shown in the image, though not in a flower layout. This will give your butterfly a unique and eye-catching look that's sure to impress. Then, using a round brush loaded with black paint, carefully paint a small dot for the butterfly head.To create the body of the butterfly, use a press-and-release technique as you drag the brush along the centre of the wings. This will create a thin, elegant line that perfectly captures the grace and beauty of a real butterfly.

 


STEP TWO: ADD THE BUTTERFLY ANTENNAE

No butterfly design is complete without its distinctive antennae. To create the perfect antennae for your butterfly, begin by using a small brush loaded with black paint.

Using a light touch, paint two small dots just above the butterfly head. Then, using the same brush, lightly drag it towards the head to connect the dots and create delicate antennae.

It's important to use a light touch when painting the antennae to ensure that they are thin and delicate. Take your time and allow the brush to do the work, creating a graceful line that perfectly captures the beauty of a butterfly's antennae.
