The annual student Halloween bash last night was themed as Area51 🎉 so I was an alien complete with sparkly deelyboppers obviously 😂

Busy night, not much time for photos but I managed one of this delicate skull design requested by this beauty. Original artist sadly unknown (she had it as a screenshot idea).

Happy New Year everyone!!! Wow, what a year 2022 was!! We were able to hug and have fun together once more 🥰

I didn't realise I had done so much. I was on TV at the start of the year on channel 5's Watercolour challenge reboot (you can still see it on catch-up 👌) what a blast that was!

Plenty of awesome parties, Exmouth festival, glitter events with plenty of sparkles and rainbows. I held a Bodyart event at Powderham castle with some amazing artists and models too alongside painting special custom converse for the Supershoes charity....phew!!

Here's to an amazing 2023! On to the next adventure in art!

Lots of love,
Shelley

I do get asked on a regular basis about attending events where I charge a fee per face. I regret that I do not work this way. Im always happy to give you ideas on how to make this work for you.

As you can imagine. A fair amount of work goes into every event I do. This includes kit maintenance, insurance fees, cleaning, updating skills and creating new/fresh designs. Travel/fuel, lunch. My family time. I wont be able to take on additional bookings. It's not as simple as just turning up to paint.

This means that my hourly rate is applicable for all events. It's an income. A reliable income cannot come from the possibility of earning something. I've done events in the distant past where I earned £9 for 3 hours work (I had three customers! - income is never guaranteed).

A discounted hourly rate is available for registered charities and must be booked well in advance to secure your desired date. I support two charities per year on this basis.

If you are needing to provide facepainting as an entertainment activity for your next event (do bear in mind that facepainting is entertainment and not a saleable commodity like food or drink - we can only reasonably paint a certain number of faces per hour).

Then, I would recommend getting a local business to sponsor the facepainting at my usual rate.

Eg facepainting is provided courtesy of "###" company as an advertising avenue. The client pays for a few hours of facepainting, free for your attendees in return. This attracts people with children to your event as there are additional fun activities with no charge. The company gets publicity. Your event gets attendees and the entertainer is paid their usual fee. It's win win all round 👍

Something from last summer ❤️

working with model Helen as part of Arts month for Art At Powderham - this piece was entitled 'Afternoon tea' and took inspiration from royal Albert China teacups and decadent centerpieces.

It was an amazing day at the Bodyart retreat which I held at Powderham back on 5th March. It was glorious to see my Bodyart friends and spend the day creating gorgeous designs.

A little snippet of my painting process at Powderham Castle 👌

16/03/2022

As some of you know I am also a pro bodyartist. I recently held an amazing bodyart retreat at Powderham Castle, Exeter.

The theme of our work was 'Powderham' and working with my model, Simon - I was inspired by the story of William Courtnay and his 21st Birthday bash in 1789. He had the ballroom decorated especially and installed the amazing organ that sits proudly in the room. He held a huge masked ball and gave every guest a peach....something very special and never seen before in those days....and worth what would be about £100 today!

Here is a little pic of the results

Productive week so far (No watercolours or facepaint!) making teeny tiny little guardian angels for an upcoming LOVE exhibition at The Glorious Art House, Exeter 🥰 to help with worries and fears. Filled with love, hope and happiness

So, the cats out the bag! Some eagle eyed people have already spotted me on the advert 🙃

I am really pleased to share with you my involvement as a contestant on a channel 5 reboot of popular TV show 'Watercolour Challenge' 😆

It is back on our screens from Monday 17th January on channel 5 daily. It will run each weekday at 4pm for 4 weeks (20 episodes). I am in the Cornwall edition, running from 7th-11th Feb.

Each weekday, 4 amateur artists have 3 hours to capture, in watercolour, the scene before them - from beaches to mountains, castles, gardens and railways! Hosted by Fern Britton, each week a new expert judge will also share tips and tricks along the way.

I am not competitive in art. I also don't paint landscapes by choice, so it should be highly entertaining watching me struggle! 🤣

I had the pleasure of working beside some incredible artists on the show ❤️ another plus, I got to work with Fern Britton who is just absolutely lovely.

I did it in memory of my Mum & Dad (RIP) - They would have LOVED this! 😆 Dad especially. He was with me. I took his paints and brushes along 🥰
