Sketch Package

Starting at $800 *

What’s included?

  • (3) hours of live guest painting at your event

  • 24 paintings of guest portraits (individuals up to groups of 4+ people) on 5x7 high quality water color paper.

  • Mini Polaroid photo attached to every portrait.

  • Studio time to complete any of the 24 guaranteed portraits that were not finished at the event mailed to the bride and groom or event coordinator to be sent to guests.

  • Any additional portraits outside of the 3 hours and 24 guaranteed will be completed at my studio for an additional fee of $20 per portrait, all mailed to the bride and groom or coordinator with photos for individual matching.

What’s the Process?

I will arrive 1 hour prior to your event start time to set up. After set up I will start to take guests photos as they approach my table to begin painting from the photos. That way your guests can continue celebrating while I get to work on their portraits. The finished portraits will be sealed in a plastic sleeve for protection and will be displayed gallery style for your guests to pick up through out the event. Any portraits not finished in the 3 hours in the 24 guarantee will be taken back to the Studio to be completed at no additional cost. If I am able to do more than 24 portraits in the 3 hour time, those additional portraits are included in the package cost. Any additional portraits outside of the 3 hours and guaranteed 24 portraits can be completed in studio for an additional fee of $20 per portrait.

What’s Required?

I will need a table to work at, minimally 3’x 3’, that is seated/desk height and a chair. I will provide a white tablecloth for the table surface as well as a hanging display for completed portraits.
