St. Patricks Day Face Painting - Show Your Irish Spirit with Lucky Face Painting
Patricks day is a perfect time to learn face painting for yourself, your friends, and your kids. There are many designs for St. Patricks Day, and learning how to paint faces is probably easier than you think. You can be painting shamrocks in just one day!
Face painting for St. Patricks Day is perfect for both kids and adults. A shamrock, a leprechaun, a 4-leaf clover, and similar designs are fun for everyone on this Irish holiday. Any type of green design makes for a great design on this holiday.
Getting Started
If you are learning the art of face painting, start with a few simple designs (such as shamrocks) and practice those designs before moving on to more complicated designs. For St. Patricks Day, you must use plenty of green paint - but feel free to use your imagination and add other colors too. For example, you can outline the shamrock in a different color to enhance its appearance. If you are still learning, you might want to consider using a stencil for more complicated designs - such as a leprechaun.
Involve the Adults (and the Kids)
Even if you are new to face painting, give your subjects a choice of designs or colors. Even if they simply choose between a 3-leaf clover and a 4-leaf clover, it gets your subject involved in the fun. If you are only painting your own face, be creative and use your imagination. Remember, face painting is not permanent - you can "erase" your mistakes or just laugh at them and have fun. Be sure to have plenty of green paint on hand if you are painting several faces. And, be certain to use paints that are specifically approved for face painting.
Not Just Faces
Don't limit your painting to faces. Arms, legs, and backs of hands are great places for shamrocks and other designs too. Don't take your painting too seriously. If you have fun, the adults and kids will have fun too. If you make a mistake, try to "work around" your mistake, or simply re-draw a portion of the image. Keep practicing and your skills will improve quickly.
Make your St. Patricks Day celebration special for yourself and your friends with face painting.

what is the story about falling leaves and painting the last leaf?
Ok, there is this very sweet story of someone who is sick and watches the leaves fall off a tree from outside the window. she tells her friend that she will die when the last leaf falls off because she will be so sad.
so her friend goes out there one night and paints a leaf on the wall behind the tree so that it looks like there is always one leaf on the tree. the guy ends up dying from the cold weather though.
it's like a sweet/sad story, but i can't remember the name or where i heard it.. any help?????
I imagine you're thinking of one segment from the 1952 omnibus film O. Henry's Full House. It dramatizes five stories by O. Henry, the master of the twist ending, the third of which is "The Last Leaf." It's about two Manhattan sisters, the younger of whom (Anne Baxter), gets pneumonia during a blizzard. Feverish, she becomes convinced that her life is bound up with that of the dried-out tree whose leaves are dropping rapidly.

[EDIT:]
OR:
As a senior citizen, your "Last Leaf" print which I bought in La Quinta, CA captures the elegaic moods of a dwindling life. Do you know the story of the "Last Leaf"? A young painter in NYC is losing his lover due to illness. She says "I will die --when the last leaf falls from the tree outside my window". And all winter she lies in their garret, in bed, so ill, but looking out her window at the number of leaves dwindling on the tree. But she recovers to find out her lover had painted a leaf on the wall outside (that wouldn't fall, of course).
