LIVE Wedding and Event Painting

What is live wedding painting?
Live event painting means we create a beautiful, original work of art during your celebration. as it's happening. My goal is to capture the essence of your day: the energy, the feeling, the place. As a landscape painter at heart, I focus on the spatial surroundings and the atmosphere, not just what it looked like, but what it felt like.
Having a live painter at your event gives guests something captivating to watch. There's something mesmerizing about seeing a painting come to life from start to finish. And by the end of the night, you walk away with a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork that can be passed down through generations.
Paintings capture emotion and memory in a way that's different than a photograph. It's the feeling of the day, preserved on canvas.
Watercolor
Guest Portraits
Give your guests a special, unique experience with custom watercolor portraits they can take home. Our artists create these on-site in 5-8 minutes, and they become timeless keepsakes your guests will cherish long after the event.
Our artist(s) arrives 1 hour before the event to set up paints, materials, and signage. Once things get going, guests stop by to have their photo taken as a reference. From there, our artist creates mini, impressionistic portraits throughout the event, completing about 10 portraits per hour (20 people if couples share a portrait). Finished portraits are placed on the table in protective sleeves for guests to pick up on their way out.
We offer hourly packages based on your guest count and event timeline. Custom pricing provided based on your needs.

Process
My easel will be set up off to the side, in a spot that allows me to fully capture the venue/event while still being able to engage with guests. My painting process involves starting big, abstract, and adding layers. With each layer the piece becomes alive and more detailed. As guests fill the space, I begin to move colors around the painting. With time, the image begins to emerge. It takes about four to five hours to complete the painting with significant detail. Each venue and event is special and therefore no two paintings look alike. Generally, the piece is completed by the end of the event. Occasionally. I'll take it back to my studio to put on finishing touches or add a protective varnish over the artwork.

I'll arrive at your event 1-2 hours in advance to set up and choose a composition for your painting, and begin painting the underlay of your painting.
