Face Painting by Rebekah Faith
Well First Friday just passed and I had the chance to meet an awesome local artist. While her name is quite unique in spelling, it's her talent that separates and makes her different than the rest. Her name is Rebekah, and she runs her own business called, "Joyful Canvas". She's a painter, but her canvas is actually the human body. So on First Friday, Rebekah has set up a lovely stand where she offers face painting and Henna tattoos. I was invited to photograph Rebekah's painting process and the living, breathing, and talking pieces of her beautiful art.
Rebekah starts off with painting the face to begin creating a mime.
I wasn't sure if Marisol's nose tickled
Adding the details to complete the look
Of course it should be a joyful time when faces get painted
Water-activated cometic paint/makeup and various brushes/pads to apply the paint.
Voilà! The complete mime look.
To complement the dress, Rebekah added a painted sleeve.
Located in the back of the Annex 24 art gallery, all her models watched the last piece of body work done.

Kennedy is lovely with her peacock body paint. A really gorgeous piece!

Prices are very reasonable

Rebekah still continued to paint faces throughout the evening, despite the limited light from the sun setting
Henna tattoos are her specialty as well
Rebekah is quite a talented artist! She welcomes all kinds of assignments, ranging from birthday parties, reunions, to local celebrations. Her mission is in the name of her business, she wishes to make, "...every customer, a Joyful Canvas". It was a pleasant experience photographing what she's all about.
