LIVE EVENT & WEDDING PAINTING
A unique way to commemorate a special day! Entertain your guests by watching the creative process in real time and receive a sentimental keepsake to commemorate the event. Live event painting is still a relatively new trend, so add something fresh to be talked about for years to come!
I come on-location to paint your event as it happens. I capture the atmosphere, light, emotions, and energy of my surroundings on canvas. I love interacting with guests and enjoy chatting or explaining my creative process.
Every customized quote includes a total of 7-8 hours live event painting with oil paints on a gallery-wrapped canvas and additional time post-event in my studio to perfect the piece. I also offer add-ons such as archival quality prints, thank you cards of your artwork, or an oil painting of the bridal bouquet.
HOW IT WORKS
I am now proud to be an artist with Lumina Art Collective, run by Alicia Hale. Alicia and I will work with you to understand your creative vision for your live painting. We will set up a call to discuss the size and orientation of your canvas, the aesthetic you desire, the moment you’d like captured, and important people to be included in the painting.
On the day of your event, I will arrive 2-3 hours prior to set up my station and begin the foundations of your painting. I will take a few reference photos for the background, and depending on the event’s timeline, I will take a few more reference photos/videos of the couple/guest of honor. During the event, I will interact with your guests, explain my creative process, and answer any questions they have about what I’m painting.
At the end of the night, the painting will be about 50-75% complete. I’ll reveal the painting to you before taking it back to my studio for completion, finishing touches, and more color-enriching layers of oil paint.
You’ll receive your finished painting, varnished and unframed (but with a wire), within 8-12 weeks of the event. Your painting will be professionally packaged and shipped to you, or a local pick-up will be arranged.

IDEAS

I can work with your vision or you can give me full artistic freedom - it’s up to you! The biggest choice you’ll need to make is canvas size and orientation (horizontal or vertical) and overall aesthetic (preferred colors and composition). If you want a more detailed painting, or to include more people, a larger canvas is highly recommended. A smaller canvas size (18x24”) lends itself better to portrait style/couples-only paintings.
Ideas for your painting:
a candid party/reception moment, keynote speech, first kiss, vows, posed portrait, first dance, etc.
I can also combine various elements of your event into the painting - the venue exterior, cake, band, pets, loved ones who have passed away or not present, etc.
Below are some images to help gauge what size canvas might look best in your space.
