How it works:

• And be prepared—your guests will flood you with messages about how much they adore their sketches! It might just be declared the best party favor ever!

I take a quick photo of your guests, and they can head back to the dance floor and enjoy the party! As the reception gets underway, I begin to paint guest portraits, capturing their individual personalities and expressions. I typically work quickly, using bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors to create lively and expressive paintings.

Each illustration is created under 5-6 minutes on watercolor paper that you can gift to your guests as party favors. Watercolor guest portraits are completed in a sketch-style at speed and will have a fun and whimsical look. All of the completed portraits are placed in a protective cello sleeve and can be picked up at our table at the end of the night. You can choose to customize the paper with your wedding date and names.

I arrive with a blank canvas, and start painting the background before your guests arrive. As the party unfolds, the painting comes to life. Not only will you have a finished painting at the end of the evening, but I also serve as entertainment to the guests.

Guests are welcome to watch the piece come together over the course of the day which creates a fun and unique source of entertainment.
