Face Painting Practice Head- Run out of willing faces?
Mehron has an answer, Face Painting Practice Heads.
Guaranteed to hold still, not rub their eyes and never run
out of patience. These professional quality, washable
practice heads are ideal learning tools for the beginner.
Advanced face painters enjoy using them to practice specific
techniques, test new products and to create new designs.
Prior to painting your man made rubber head, spray it with
a high level form of hair spray - such as super extra hold.
This will create a barrier between the rubber and the paint.
Please remember this is rubber and not skin, which skin
secretes oils that lift pigments from the skin and raises
them to the surface.
If you leave the paint on for any length of time, it is
likely to leave some form of residue (stain). Please be
aware that no matter what brand and/or product you choose
to use, some pigments are so intense (for more vivid colors)
they will likely cause some staining. The best method is
to paint and remove it as soon as possible.
Tried and true method of removing color from the rubber
head:
1) New Dawn Dish Washing Detergent, with a Doobie (little
green dish scrubber) and warm water; or
2) Acetone (straight Nail Polish Remover - No Lanolin in
it), then wash off with warm soap & water.
Both of these methods are very effective in residue removal,
But, please remember . . . this is a rubber head, not flesh
. . . it will not respond the same way skin does.
