​​Whether you are a mom who wants to learn how to do face painting for your kids and special events, or a comic con/ cosplay enthusiast, this introductory workshop will teach you the foundations of body art.

​From henna tattoos, to cheek, nose, and full face designs, you will learn:
  • safe hygiene practices
  • body art color theory
  • specialty brush stroke and sponge application techniques
  • quick, easy, and impressive 5min to 10min designs that can be completed with just a few steps
  • most popular henna tattoo designs
  • henna tattoo care
  • how to mix henna, and the do's and don'ts of henna applications

Over the years I have trained various teens and adults on how to do body artistry correctly, giving them the chance to provide face painting and temporary tattoo application at the various corporate, family, and grads I was commissioned too. 

My goal is to show you just how exciting, simple, and interesting body art can be for recreational purposes. Workshops are offered in an intimate setting of 20 or less students, and my "Body Art with Sas" training book will be available for purchase after the workshop to help you build on your new skillset.

BODY ARTISTS vs FINE ARTS ARTISTS

Before entering the body artistry world I was very intimdated by the thought of becoming a body artist entertainer. I knew I could paint and draw from the time when I was 8 years old trying to sell homemade bookmarks and sketches in my elementary school library. I couldnt afford to go to fine arts school fresh out of high school so in my young brain I thought I was inferrior to the fine arts trained artists.

When i was in middle school I dreamed of eorking for Disney as an professional animation artist. I thought how cool is that? Being able to draw all those images by hand, and see the movie come to life.

By the time i was in high school I spent the majority of my time drawing tattoos and sketching faces at $8 per detailed portrait sketch. In my mid twenties I became a face and body painter as well as a Caricature Sketch Artist for various canadian entertainment agencies before starting my own. I then began body painting dancers and models for productions, company branding promotional events, and fashion shows.

What I found was that adults and children would always request unique and custom face painting designs that i had to finish very quickly, without room for errot. Sfter all with a line up, and a garaunteed pre-set amount of faces or bodies to be painted or tatooed in an hour per thr client, I naturally got faster.

I learned to think out of the box, and great customer service skills as I provided services for divetse age groups, ethnic backgrounds, and physical environments. it wasent my way or the highway as an artist, it was what the model/ customer wanted.

This in turn made me a better artist as it challenged me to learn to draw things I did not have an interest in before, and sharpened my drawing and painting capabilities. It also gave me inspiration from all the amazing chats I had with people I was #artifying.

I also learned that you would be surprised with your artistic ability if you challenge yourself to try something new. So do I think Body Artists or Tattoo Artists are just as good as Fine Arts trained Artists? Yes! They simply have a different skillset or have approached art differently. Personally, us Body Artists thrive off of human interaction, and love to engage our models/ customers in the process by explaining how its done, and getting a feel out of what you desire positivley from the experience. Basically, I think we are alot more fun ;)
