Live Event Art

Why Live Event Art?

Whether it’s a wedding day, birthday party, or a corporate event, having an in-person artist adding custom artwork to the day is a sure fire way to bring an even brighter smile to everyone's face.

The description of services below are more from the perspective of weddings but if you’re interested in having a live artist for an event other than a wedding, just let me know! The services I offer can always be adjusted to fit your needs.

Guest Portraits:

Delight your guests with minimalist watercolor fashion portraits for them to take home and remember the day! Portraits are 5x7 inches on cold-pressed watercolor paper and include a protective slip.

How it works:

  • Guests get their picture taken for their portrait by my assistant so that they can get right back to the celebrations. The photo is then added to the queue to get painted.
  • Portraits are drawn then painted in a minimalist style that focuses on their stunning outfits and hairstyles, meaning no hands or face details (except for glasses and beards/mustaches).
  • Guests can pick up their portraits at the end of the night. Any portraits that were not picked up or were not completed by the end of the night get mailed out over the following 30 days.

Pricing:

  • $15 per guest plus a flat fee of $250 to include preparation time, set-up, and materials. 
  • If your event is over an hour away, a custom travel fee will be added to your total to reflect the distance.

Optional add-ons: 

  • The Highlights Package: Done later in my home studio, this package includes four minimalist paintings of the couple’s favorite moments from their day. – $180
  • The Wedding Party Package: Give your bridesmaids, groomsmen, and parents special portraits from the wedding. Since these aren’t being made live at the event, more time and consideration is taken in creating the portraits in my studio. – $20 per person

Couple Portrait:

Wow and entertain your guests with live painting while simultaneously getting a special keepsake from your beautiful day! Couple Portraits can be anywhere between 11x14 inches to 18x24 inches and can be a graphite drawing, acrylic painting, or watercolor painting.

Here’s how it works: 

  • A few weeks before the big day I’ll meet with you and your fiance to talk about your dream wedding day portrait. We’ll talk about what moment you would like captured and what things you would like to incorporate in your portrait. I will also request some of your favorite photos of the two of you so that I have more references to use when I begin your portrait.
  • The day of your wedding I’ll arrive before guests to set-up and begin laying out the portrait with the background. When the moment comes that you would like captured I will take photos for reference and then continue painting your portrait based on the photos I took. 
  • Throughout the celebration your guests get to stop by and watch as I paint. They can ask questions about the process or just enjoy watching as they see your portrait come to life. 
  • After the wedding I’ll do the finishing touches on your portrait at my studio and complete the artwork within 4-12 weeks. 
  • Based on how far away you are I will either hand deliver the completed portrait or have it shipped to you.

Pricing:

  • $1000 for sizes between 11×14 inches to 12×16 inches
  • $1300 for sizes between 16×20 inches to 18×24 inches
  • Flat fee of $150 to include preparation time, set-up, and materials. 
  • If your event is over an hour away, a custom travel fee will be added to your total to reflect the distance.
