Art on faces / Liz Small

Liz Small is a facepainting artist from Canada.
She likes Shizuoka.

''How many people have you painted on through this event so far?'' I asked.
''I can't count...'' She answered.
I am convinced of this snswer seeing a long long line of waiting people.

She answered our questions while painting.

''I think you have painted on lots of people in many areas so do you feel any differences between Japanese and other nationalities when they are being painted?'' I asked.
''Japanese are so patient when they are being painted. They wait even an hour quietly.'' She ansered.

Even while answering our questions, Liz finished painiting on one person with a beautiful facepainting and began to paint on the next person.
Roughly, 5minuits to one person. It's so nice and fast! Isn't it?

''According to nationalties, are paintings they preffer different?'' I asked.
''I don't think so.'' She answerd.
Everyone in this globe feel in the same way in front of Art maybe.

People who hasitate to do facepainting! Don't be shy!
Facepaintings can be washed away easily with soap.
Let's give it a try!
