How it works
The Live Art Experience
Artists are booked on a per event basis up to 6 hours. Each painting takes about 8-10 min per portrait on average, depending on number of people and amount of detail on clothing (maximum 4 people per portrait).
Each portrait is painted on 4.5” x 6" professional watercolor paper.
All portraits are painted with no facial features and will capture the likeness of each individual with detailed focus on clothing and hairstyle.
When guests approach the art table, their photograph will be taken. Portraits will be drawn during the event and will be ready for pick up later. That way there is no waiting involved and guests can enjoy the party! Guests can also stay and watch the process as a form of entertainment.
Once the portrait is completed, they will be laid out on the table and packaged up nicely for guests to pick up and take home before they leave!
