Hi from Salt Lake City UT!

Hi!

My name is Manda, and I wanted to introduce myself on this forum. I've loved art/painting in many forms since I was very young (my father is a set designer/fine art painter), but have only recently been turned on to face painting. My friend and fellow forum-member, Lilly-A-Clown, had been talking with me about a website for her clowning as I do some graphic design in my free time. It turned into me helping her with a few face painting bookings, and now I'm hooked!

We had an amazing weekend painting faces (I love the "oddball" requests!) and I think I've found something I can truly dive into creatively!

Anyway, I have been browsing the forums for the last week or two and have wanted to post in so many threads I figured I'd better sign up for an account!

I'd love any advice from you seasoned painters and have been scouring the forums to figure out what I truly need for a "basic" starter painters kit. I'm trying to decide between a pallette (but which brand??!) or separate colors and making my own pallette... So many choices!

Ok time to stop rambling now. Thanks for having a forum like this for people like me to brainstorm and find amazing tips and advice from people who have been doing this for much longer than I have!

If anyone needs help with design stuff (logos, banners, etc) please let me know as I will be happy to help out if I can. I don't mean this as a solicitation, just an offer if someone needs help...

Thanks!
Manda

Hi!!

Mandy -

Welcome to the artsy painting tribe. Sure you will learn a lot and have fun in the process. Congrats!!! on finding us. You could probably barter some graphic design for some starter supplies!!! So many here are trying to get a website up and going and may need a logo. Check the Swap Shop!

Welcome, Welcome!

Hello!

Hi!

Thanks for the warm welcomes and the pointer on the Swap Shop!
I'll have to check it out.

Thanks again!

Just to let you know-- I figured out the gallery and have posed pics from my first face painting event and some practice pieces!

Hi Manda, I'm Magna...and new too!

Welcome. I love this place too. It's awesome for us to get excellent information and I find everyone really nice and helpful. I've been to SLC several times. Great place.

Thanks for dropping in, Manda. I am sure you will enjoy it here.
