Extreme Face Painting: 50 Friendly & Fiendish Step-by-Step Demos

by Brian Wolfe, Nick Wolfe

Put a new face on fun! No matter what your experience level, you can turn everyday faces into sweet, funny or frightening works of art that move, laugh, grow and always make people smile! The first half of this book features fun, friendly transitions, such as birds and butterflies, puppies and princesses, knights and night skies. Part Two crosses over to the dark side with strikingly horrible, downright unnerving personas, including vampires, zombies, gargoyles and other foul, freakish creeps. Full of friendly instruction for beginners and fresh inspiration for seasoned painters, this book will help you make art as original as the face that is painted!

The Wolfe brothers are legends in the face painting community (RIP Brian Wolfe). This book is packed full of ideas, techniques and also includes a DVD. I am a huge fan of the Wolfe brothers and their face paint is second to none. Any serious face painter knows Wolfe white and black are must haves for any face painting kit. You can't go wrong with this book!

nice book

Nice descriptions and detailed instructions. Seems easy to follow and understand. Explains the supplies used in addition to the techniques.

My 5 year old daughter picked this one out at the library. The book does a great job breaking down a complicated full face paint task into seemingly manageable smaller sections. It was a great way to illustrate to my daughter that when looking at the whole it sure seemed like in impossible task to accomplish - but together looking through the individual steps most of the pieces seemed a possibility. The book is split into two sections - one for gruesome Halloween type jobs and the other half more flourishes and animals.
