Face paint inspiration: Andrew Keir and more...

I'm considering how I could incorporate face paint into my masks/ costumes for my film. Whilst researching for face painting inspiration, I stumbled across Andrew Keir's work: He uses his hand as a means for performance, using paint to transform his hand into animals and plants. I really admire the realistic look he has created. I hope to experiment with face paint when looking at different facial expressions i could add to the bear character.

I've also found more abstract face painting which is another consideration for my mask making and face painting ideas. These include more colour. I am aware that i may end up using stereotypical brown and black hues, something i wanted to avoid in this project. I want to look at abstract shapes and patterns as inspiration for mask making in the near future.
