Hello! New girl from Baltimore

Hi Everyone! My name is Mary. I found this forum today and just love all the great information I am reading on here. I am a Realtor but I love painting and have always wanted to get into face painting. Can anyone in the area point me in the right direction to find some classes or training? I see the Fabbulas convention in Philly in November but I am sure that would be over my head,as I never painted a face before! I did dabble in it a little as a teenager at a church fair but really we did like flowers on hands and silly easy stuff Any advice is welcomed! Thanks!!!!

Hi from the UK Mary!

Hi Glenda! Thanks for the Hello

Hi Mary!

Welcome : )

I'm in Columbia, MD so we aren't that far away from each other!

Jamming and networking with local fellow painters are the best ways to learn. Be prepared to give and take at a Jam though- they aren't "learn to paint" venues, but more of a sharing and caring way to get to know everyone and maybe learn some new tricks.

I reccomend the FAQ on the Snazaroo.us site. Fabulous info there!

There are some great jams in our area- Carol Turman has one in Vienna, VA and there is another in York, PA I believe.

I am hosting my second jam in September here in Columbia. I'll put an anouncement here on the forum and also I can include you on the email if you like.

Welcome and don't be shy!
