The concept of Live Painting at events is to paint a scene on canvas as the event takes place. I can paint any scene from your wedding, this could be a ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, first dance or other scene.
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.
