wiw_2017_face_painting_guide-48e58d747375dc83.pdf

This guide, published by WWF South Africa, provides instructions and safety protocols for offering face painting as a fundraising activity for 'Wear it Wild' events. It details the necessary equipment, general painting techniques, step-by-step instructions for three animal designs (panda, butterfly, and tiger), and a customizable health and safety disclaimer for event organizers.

• The guide lists essential equipment for face painting, including water-based paints (specifically red, yellow, blue, black, and white), high-density sponges, synthetic fibre brushes, a water sprayer, a bowl of water, a mirror, hair accessories, and cleaning supplies. It warns that paints older than 6 months should be replaced as they can expire.
• Safety and consent protocols are emphasized: painters must obtain verbal or written permission from a parent or guardian for children and check for skin allergies. A recommended allergy test involves applying a small amount of paint to the inside of the wrist for approximately 60 minutes.
• The document provides technical tips for better results, such as using a water sprayer to prevent paint from running, applying lighter colours before darker ones, and cutting sponges into wedges to allow for both broad base coverage and fine detail.
• The guide includes detailed step-by-step instructions for three specific animal designs: a panda (using white and black paint), a butterfly (using a light base colour and darker detailing), and a tiger (using yellow and orange bases with white and black details).
• A provided disclaimer template for event organizers specifies that face painting should not be performed on individuals with cuts or skin conditions such as chicken pox, cold sores, dermatitis, or eczema. It also states that children must be over 3 years old to participate.
