This week I demonstrated three butterfly designs on Aisha.  The first uses sponged base and linework.  The second uses one-strokes both as the base and edging.  The third used both methods also. These are all standard on-the-job styles, fairly easy to reproduce - although I always recommend you improve and change the designs! 

1.      The first face painted put two different designs on each eye  

        a)      Swirly style. DFX Bronze (green/gold) and Cameleon Plum Fairy. Both metallic.  Brush was a 9430-6 Kingart which enabled me to use very fine lines.

        b)     Simple edging. Metallic TAG Teal, Superstar Ziva and Superstar purple.  Brush was a Rosemary & Co Snowdrop no.6 similar to a Loew Cornell 795. (Kingart 7950).  Rake brush to add blending.

2.      One-stroke butterfly.  I used a sponge with DFX Evil Rose and Cameleon Evening  by Brierley (blue/green).  Brush was a Rosemary & Co angular ½” Series 310.  Edging was a one-stroke palette by Sally-Ann Lynch.

3.      Shark butterfly!  A brand new design – needs refinement.  On one side I tried it with sponging and edging with a round brush, then on the other side I used a one-stroke – black/grey/white.  I think that worked better.  The brush was a 1/2" Rosemary & co 310.
