dialogue becomes a visual collabration

Working collaboratively on the four paintings has given inspiration to members of the Gipp's Guides to be creative with in their Art genera.  Working with paint as a basic medium various effects have been gained when combining them paint and the 'canvasses'.  However when the canvase base changes so too do some of the methods. 

painting on wood being different to painting on canvas.  Again totally different to painting with skin as a canvas base.

Face painting flowers

Flowers were a delicate touch, the brush stroes were minimal.  The end effect suited the wearer, her clothes and apparent personality.

Paintings at Old Gippstown

Old Gippstown in Moe [Victoria] invited the Hazelwood and Churchill Guides to attend the art and Craft show.

The challenge was passed onto the Gipp's Guides who -

• Demonstated painting with random homehandy man materials.  Much to the surprise of a lot of older male artisits / handymen.
• Painted faces.
• Displayed art from various artisits within Churchill as well as the four paintings that they had done.

Face painting as a service

There was one lady in amongst the kids impatienly lining up for their faces to be painted.

Soon there was two face painters. Susan spent most of her time there helping the lady catch up to the end of the kids line.  The line did not go until well after dark.  Both facepainters just kept facepainting though.

Rebecca asked to be shown how to face paint. Samar had already been going to tafe for a beautician course.  How ever there were no finger nail or toes to be painted that day. Which left both of the Gipp's Guides attending free to wonder around seeing the sights and taking photos.
