Live event illustration

I have had the joy of painting live guest portraits since 2020.

My guest portrait paintings are celebration sketches of your guests for small weddings or rehearsal dinners.

They are handcrafted with care so that they are unique to each one.

Celebration sketches 

Guest portrait are a great gift to give as a keepsake. Ideal for small weddings or private parties, your guests will be delighted to watch a live artist paint these whimsical personalised gifts.

I am a portrait artist and I absolutely love painting guest portaits during events. Weddings are always unique. As a live artist, I get to chat to wonderful people from all backgrounds. It is all about the people for me.

I create custom artwork in my signature style that’s a quirky blend of modern and traditional.

My illustrations are hand-crafted to a high standard .

I value quality over quantity and have a limit to 20 sketches which is around 40 guests as couples.

I take time to ensure your guests’ personalities are represented in each of their paintings.

I don’t use digital media or templates.

Your guests will love to identify themselves.

As these are sketched loosely, your guests will love the quirkiness of them.

How it works

Starting from drinks reception, I have a system where I can collect posed photos of your guests before dinner to work from throughout the day. I also work on the spot if your guests would like a seated headshot portrait.

I then go get to work where people can watch me sketch and paint the illustrations . 

At the end of the evening , there will be the collection of portrait miniatures displayed for all to identify themselves and take home as a keepsake.

How many will be painted?

I will paint on average 40 guests max on the day.

These make beautiful gifts to give as a thank you to your nearest and dearest or for smaller events.

Investment 

Your quote will include a full day of painting at your event and I normally start from drinks reception until 9pm. (Or 6pm to finish)

Travel to your venue is excluded from these prices and will be quoted to you depending on your town of venue.

I will drive to Scotland and North England. For towns further afield, public transport and an overnight accommodation fee may be required.
