Live Guest Portraits
Delight your guests with stylish, watercolor and ink portraits created live at your event. Inspired by fashion sketches, these quick, expressive illustrations offer a unique blend of entertainment and keepsake—giving each guest a personal piece of art to remember the occasion.
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. Each portrait takes 5-10 min to complete, averaging 5 min per person. 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 package hours and the amount guarantee will be taken back to the Studio to be completed at no additional cost. If I am able to do more than the package amount guarantee in the agreed upon time, those additional portraits are included in the package cost. Any additional portraits outside of the package time and portrait amount can be completed in studio for an additional fee of $10 per portrait.
What’s Required?
I will need a table to work at, minimally 4’x 4’, that is seated/desk height and a chair.
I can provide a white tablecloth upon request for the table surface. In addition I will provide a hanging display for completed portraits.
