Live Guest Portraits
Perfect for weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, graduation parties and more!
Live guest portraits are painted on 5x7" watercolor paper using watercolors, pencil, and ink. Each portrait takes about 5–10 minutes. Guests sign up, have their photo taken, and return to the celebration while their portrait is completed. Finished artwork is packaged in protective sleeves and ready for pickup during or after the event.
