Beginner Level
In this class, we will create a stitched-up gash and various other wounds on our hands, arms (and face if the student wishes to). We will be using household products as listed in the supplies section. There is no need to go purchase any costly special effects products. There is a safe (edible even) recipe for fake blood if the student doesn’t have any. The fake blood needs to be prepared prior to class, since that takes up class time. We will work together, each step, to create our skin effects. I will explain each step as we go and use multiple camera views to show the steps. Students will get messy, so they should dress appropriately for possible staining. I am a professional Face and Body Painter, and Halloween makeup is my favorite to paint. If students are interested in going further with their work, I will answer any questions they have regarding more professional products and understanding hygiene in makeup application.

Students will use tweezers to pick apart the tissue after it's glued on their hand or arm. They should know tweezer safety prior to taking the class.
