London Gatwick Beginners Face Painting Course
2026-02-14 09:30 - 16:30 UTC | Premier Inn, Fleming Way, Manor Royal, West Sussex, RH10 9DF
Our course is fun and relaxed with all the equipment you would need provided on the day. We have created this course to suit those with little or no experience in face painting and we welcome questions throughout. Your trainer will walk around the class observing students and offering any help, advice and tips where needed.

This course is very hands on, and you will be painting from the very beginning! We start the course by painting on your own arm so you can experience how the paint feels on skin and the consistency needed.

This will help you gain the skills needed to create line work quicker than working on a model. You will learn all about the different brands of brushes, sponges and most important face paints.

We will advise which products are safe to use in the UK and how to know if they comply with the cosmetic regulation EC 1223/2009.

We then move onto creating designs such as Butterfly, Tiger, Flowers and much more! These will be created on practice heads which are provided.

You will also learn all about health and safety surrounding face pain A light lunch is provided along with tea and coffee. Please add any dietary requirements in the comments box at checkout.

At the end of the day, you will receive a certificate of achievement for attending our beginner’s course. You will also receive a free goody bag from the UK’s top face paint retailer, Magicbox Face Paints along with a 10% discount code to use on any online purchases with them for the next 3 months.

You will also have access to exclusive face painting kits created by Donnas Face Painting with a huge saving of up to 25% off! Many of our ex-students are now in the face painting business and painting at birthday parties, weddings, fairs/galas and corporate work with some even winning industry awards! All this for just £125 per person and we ask for a £55 non-refundable deposit to secure your seat and the balance is due 14 days prior to the course.

Our Design Class is a full day of step-by-step face painting designs, packed with advanced tips, tricks, and techniques to help you improve your work and boost your business. Each student will also receive a free Donna’s Face Painting practice head worth £24.99 and one of our one stroke practice sheets worth £14.99 to continue building skills at home.

This hands-on class is fun and relaxed, with all the equipment you’ll need provided on the day. Students are also very welcome to bring along their own kit if they’d prefer to follow the designs using the products they plan to work with on the job.

This course is ideal for those who have completed our Beginners Course or have the knowledge in the following areas: linework, using split cakes, basic one stroke technique such as loading, understanding health and hygiene, and knowledge of different face painting brushes. To get the most from the day, students should already have knowledge in these areas. Just like in the Beginners Course, Donna will be observing everyone’s work and offering help and guidance along the way.

The Design Class is different from our Beginners Course. While it’s still very hands-on and lots of fun from the very start, this full day is all about creating a wide variety of popular face painting designs that you can confidently take straight to your jobs. From crowd-pleasing favourites to quick and effective go-to designs, you’ll build a portfolio of looks that work perfectly for busy parties, events, and festivals. Each design is taught step by step, making it easy to follow along and master the techniques.

In between designs, we’ll also share valuable business tips covering areas such as branding, marketing, essential business documents, and using social media effectively — all designed to help you secure more bookings and grow your face painting business.

A light lunch is provided along with tea and coffee. Please add any dietary requirements in the comments box at checkout.
