Live Guest Portrait Painting

Prom

Groups - up to 3

Couples

With or without faces

My style captures the essence of the guests and their character through their poses and wardrobe choices, your guests will be delighted!

How it works

Planning

We will have a consultation, prior to your occasion, to agree on details such as timings, where I will be in the venue, special people to include, and any other illustrations you might want

Arrival

I arrive early to meet with you, or your event organiser, in order to be prepared for your first guests

For my set-up, we simply need a chair for me to work in,
and a display table. Finished portraits, are added to a growing gallery, until ready for collection.

Painting

Photos of the guests (individuals or groups of up to 3) are used as a reference: no need to wait while I create!

Using archival ink and the highest quality watercolours, I can illustrate portraits of 20 to 25 people in 3 hours. They are quick sketches, full of character

After the event

Your guests will have a unique keepsake of the occasion to take home with them.

Illustrations of the venue, additional guests, or special moments can be painted after the event from photos, and posted to you.

Your day illustrated

Special moments from the day

Speeches, exchanging vows, a grand entrance...

The Setting

I can doodle the venue, inside or outside, with or without your guests, or yourselves

A Big Day Doodle

Completed after the event, a reflection of the highlights of your day. A Big Day Doodle combines portraits, special moments and items, your venue, quotes from meaningful songs, speeches and 'overheard' snippets.

For a wedding, this could include flowers, wedding shoes and rings.

For a retirement, anniversary, or special birthday, this can include memories of the past.
