Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is live event painting?

Live painting is when an artist paints at an event while the guests can watch. Often it is at a wedding, but it can be any event.

 

Will I get the painting at the end of the night?

No. I take the work home to frame it for you and so you can proof it before it's finalized. That way you know you'll LOVE the final painting.

 

How much does live wedding painting cost?

Live event painting averages $2,500 in the US for smallest packages. You can see my prices here or fill out my inquiry form to get a custom quote.

 

Can you put people who aren't there in the painting?

ʉ۬Yes! I can include folks who couldn't make it and deceased loved ones. All I need is a photograph of them.

 

Can you make a painting from a past event?

Yes! This is called a ‘studio commission. In many cases there will be more refined detail in a studio commission because there isn’t the pressure to work quickly.  All I need is photographs of the event.

 

Will you travel internationally or to destination weddings?

Yes! I love doing destination weddings and have a system set for traveling with artwork. 

 

Am I supposed to tip a live wedding painter?


This one is completely up to you! It is customary to tip vendors ~10%, but I do not expect it.  A rave review is also a great way to say thanks.

 

How much does a live wedding painting cost?

My packages start at $2,600 and go up as the canvas size goes up.
This price includes a frame, 8 hours of painting, travel within 2 hours, 2 rounds of edits, an interactive guest experience, and hand delivery within 1 hour

 

When do I pay for a live painting?

25% booking fee to secure your date, 25% halfway through, then then 50% one month before the event. I take credit card, Zelle, and Venmo.

 

Can you add my dogs and cats?

Yes! No problem.  When you book, please send me a photo

of your fur babies so I can practice.
