Watercolor Guest Portraits

ALL | CALLIGRAPHY | WATERCOLOR GUEST PORTRAITS

Onsite Watercolor

Onsite Watercolor starts at $325 per hour. Minimum of 3 hours required. Price includes the following:

  • 4”x6” Fashion Illustration Style Watercolor Portraits of guests on premium 100% cotton deckle edge paper

  • Clear plastic packaging for guests to take portraits home

My style is minimalist and faceless. I focus on the guest’s attire, hair style/color, & skin tones. Figures are drawn with fashion proportions, which are generally longer and leaner than real life proportions.

How It Works

  • I typically arrive at least (one) 1 hour before the start of cocktail hour to setup.

  • During cocktail hour, I’ll get a head start on taking photos of guests who would like a watercolor portrait. I use these photos as reference. This allows for guests to enjoy the rest of the reception without having to wait in line. I’ll continue to take photos of guests throughout the evening until my approx. portrait count is reached.

  • Once I finish their portrait, I will lay them out on the table for them to be able to grab at the end of the event.

  • I will require one (1) 4-6ft. table and access to at least one (1) electrical outlet.

  • I require one (1) 30min. break, typically at the beginning of the reception.

Additional Information

  • On average, I can draw a couple (two people) in approximately 5-7mins. In other words, I can paint 8-10 portraits per hour taking into consideration the transition times between each portrait.

  • Depending on your guest count, not all guests may get painted. On the other hand, not all guests will ask for a portrait as well.

  • In the case that there are portraits (within my usual count) that are unfinished, I will finish them back in my studio at no additional cost. If additional portraits are needing to be completed after your contracted time not already accounted for, I do offer an add on of $10 per portrait. I will send you a separate invoice.

  • Additional portraits will be directly sent to you within two weeks following your event date.
