Watch and learn how to transform a face using professional prosthetic makeup techniques, and then apply these techniques during the Hands-On session!

The demonstration introduces students to the fundamentals of prosthetic makeup application for film, television, and stage. Students will learn proper skin prep, adhesive techniques, blending edges, and basic color application to create realistic characters.  In this Hands-On session, students will apply foam latex, blend and paint them for realism using airbrush, and explore how prosthetics are used to build characters for film and television. Perfect for artists interested in special effects and character makeup.  Your work will be photographed at the end of the class and you will receive 5 unedited images of your work.  The images will be emailed to you within 2 weeks after the class.  There will be a 1 hour break from 12pm to 1pm.
