Why should I learn with The Glitterbox Academy?
Hannah is sharing the in-depth knowledge and skill-set she has built up from scratch since 2012. She's showing you the techniques that she has learned, honed and passed on to her talented team of artists. These are the techniques that have taken her from one-woman-band to owner of a hugely successful facepainting agency. It is not often a world-class expert like Hannah opens the doors and shares the secrets of her success. Grab the opportunity with both hands!
-
Who is the course aimed at?
This course is aimed at people who may paint professionally already but who are looking to broaden their portfolio. The first thing we teach are the individual painting techniques used in the final designs. If you're a beginner this is your chance to learn them. If you're already a painter, you'll get to see The Glitterbox techniques that may differ from your own.
-
What if I’m a total beginner?
The course is perfect for beginners, as it includes a shopping list from scratch and takes you through step-by-step. It will just take practice to get to grips with the brush techniques, but the joy of the format is you can replay the instructional videos as much as you like, and at your own pace.
-
How do you teach the course?
The course is a mix of presentation slides with voice over and video tutorials. All painting techniques are shown as video tutorials. All of the complete eye designs are also shown as video tutorials on a male and female model. There are 9 techniques, 2 male eye designs and 6 female eye designs. The 9 techniques you learn can be layered up so that you can continue to create your own designs.
-
How long will the course take me to do?
There are 10 modules, 2 bonus ones plus 30 video tutorials showcasing each painting technique and eye design. You can go through entirely at your own pace and watch the videos as many times as you need. Then it's up to you to get practising!
-
Do I need to buy a lot of kit to do the course?
We supply a shopping list in the first module detailing all the kit we use in the course. Have a look at the images below these FAQs to give you a better idea. You don't have to use the same colour schemes as us for your paints and glitters but we do recommend getting the brushes as they are our main tool.
-
Are you affiliated with a particular brand?
No, we're not. You will see that we use a huge variety of brands. You'll get a very honest look into a professional kit bag.
-
Where can I see the full curriculum?
See below for the module titles. Click on each one and it'll expand to show you more.
This the kit we used on all 8 eye designs and 9 techniques. We provide a shopping list if you want to get everything from scratch. You can use different colour schemes from us but we do recommend getting the brushes.
