Live Guests Sketches at your Wedding

Live Event Watercolor Sketches

Commemorate your special day with one-of-kind, hand-painted guest portraits.

​

How it Works

• The Station: Dana and an assistant set up a professional painting station at your venue (She will need a table near an outlet and 2 chairs)​

• The Process: We snap a quick photo of your guests so they don't have to stand still. They can head back to the dance floor or bar while the magic happens!

• Each figure is sketched by hand then, hand-painted on high-quality 6”x9” watercolor paper.  Dana captures the specific gesture of each person!  Perfectly imperfect!

• The Delivery: Once dry, paintings are tucked into clear cellophane envelopes with sturdy cardboard backing for protection and easy travel.

 

Timing & Capacity

• Quick & Custom: It takes roughly 10 minutes to paint one person (approx. 10–15 minutes per couple).

• Limit: Maximum of 3 figures per card (exceptions made for children).

• Personalized: Tell us in advance what you’d like printed at the bottom of the card (e.g., event name, date, or a custom phrase).

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Do guests have to wait at the booth?

 

Absolutely not! We want to increase the fun, not ruin it. We take a reference photo and guests can roam the event and return later to collect their custom art.

 

What if the Dana runs out of time?

 

I try my very best to complete as many custom sketches as possible (typically 8 figures per hour) These will be finished and delivered/shipped to you within 4 weeks.

 

How can you ship their painting to them?

I gather the remaining photos and request addresses then ship to each person.

​

What does the artist need at the venue?

We require a dedicated 6’ x 6’ space out of the main traffic flow but visible to guests, a small table, access to an electrical outlet, and adequate lighting.
