I will reach out to confirm final details and the remaining 75% installment will be due 2 weeks prior to your event.

I will arrive and set up prior to your guests’ arrival. As guests come up to the table, I will take reference photos so that they may enjoy the event!

 

Portraits are created using watercolor, pencil and ink on watercolor paper. Each portrait takes 5-10 minutes depending on complexity. Finished drawings are wrapped in a protected sleeve and easily displayed for the guests to pick up during/after the event.

4. After

Additional guest portraits are completed in my studio. Artwork will be sent out two weeks following your event in a stay flat protected envelope. This is a great addition to your thank you cards! 

PRICING & PACKAGES

All packages include 5 hours of live, on-site guest portrait painting. During that time, I can paint up to 50 guests.
The total is based on the number of people painted, not the number of illustrations. For example, a portrait of two people counts as two guests, leaving 48 guest spots remaining.
