I was absolutely DYING to paint another face today, and one of the faces I really wanted to paint was a pink tiger! After persuading Eva (my little sister, age nine) to let me paint her, we sat down and I began my magic...
Instructions:
1. Sponge white over eyelids (not too close to eye) in a peaky triangle, as shown. Sponge white on tip of nose.
2. Re-fill sponge with white paint. Sponge a white mustache above top lip under the nose, then sponge a white beard across the jaw and chin, joining to mustache.
3. Load other side of sponge with a bright, distinctive pink. Sponge the pink all around the face being careful not to blend into the "eye-white" but blend into "mustache" and "beard".
4. Load round brush with black. With flicking movements, slightly outline the "Eye-White" triangles, as shown. Dab brush sideways to create the "nose-stripes". Carefully, in order not to go into the nose, cover top and front of nose.
5. Re-load brush with black. Place brush in centre of forehead and wiggle upwards. Do the same instructions on each side of the stripe. Draw "nose-to-top lip" line and outline lips (don't colour lips in as it is unhygienic). Paint "Whisker-Dots".
6. Re-fill brush with black. Outline muzzle slightly with flicking movements. Paint rest of stripes.
7. Re-fill brush again. press brush sideways to achieve the loop designs on the side of the jaw.
You're done! Use a beautiful, distinctive Pink to bring out the change of colours, pale pink or soft pink dosen't really stand out much. Add flowers, tiny fangs, swirls (in place of stripes), or stars.
