Greetings, Olivier Zegers will be in the USA in May 2009 and the Denver Facepainting guild members have an opportunity to take part in his workshops. Most everyone has heard of Olivier Zegers, but for those of you that are not familiar, you can go to: http://www.olivierzegers.com <http://www.olivierzegers.com/> and check out his work. He has a few demos you can watch too. This is a great opportunity for get one-on-one time with a world-renowned facepainter.
You will need to let me know as soon as possible if you are committed to taking the class. We can only have a max of 12 participants per class, so please let me know as soon as possible if you want to take the classes. I sure hope you can make it - this will be a lot of fun and what we will be learning is going to be amazing. Olivier has a very unique style and he can help bring your facepainting to another level. Please email me if you are interested and let me know what classes you are wanting to take. (see Olivier's notes on the classes below) More details will follow when you are registered for the class. Feel free to pass this onto a friend or a forum that would be interested in the classes.

It introduces the students to more advanced sponge techniques for lines and other effects, as well as advanced brush techniques (double loading, advanced strokes) or lines shading with brushes and sponge. *_Notes on the Classes from Olivier _/ Students must respect the chronological order of the classes. This means that somebody who has not fully followed the Level 1 is not allowed to follow any day of the Level 2 or above. /* */There might be some exceptions for people who have already taken a 2 days technical class with me in the past. In that case only, they are allowed to immediately follow the Day 3 of the Level 1 program. These people must be able to prove, by pictures or an email from a previous organizer, that they have effectively taken classes with me./* */Small classes or demos given during conventions cannot be taken in count. /* */It could happen that some face painters argue they are professional since a long time, and do not need to follow a basic or advanced technique class. If you think they are right, you can suggest them to send me pictures of their work. I will be the only one/**/ to judge if they may skip the first level./* So, if you want to take Level 2 without taking Level 1, you can forward your work directly to Olivier for him to decide. Also, regarding Products and Tools, Olivier's classes are sponsored by Fantasy-Worldwide products, which means that all products will be provided to students during the practice sessions. Tools like sponges and brushes will be provided too. All demonstrations and explanations are adapted to "ready-to-use" products (creams and liquids).Students must bring their own brushes and sponges for checking to see if they are appropriate to use in the class. --------- Visit me Online ---------- www.ActivityBags.com "Where fun and education fit in the same bag." www.Fantastic-Facepainting.co "Where a face can be transformed in seconds." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Face Painting and Body Art Association."
