What is Live Event Painting?
Live wedding painting is a unique and memorable way to capture the magic of your wedding day. It involves hiring an artist to paint a live portrait of the couple during a live reception, creating a one-of-a-kind artwork that captures the atmosphere, colors, and emotions of the day.
Investing in a live wedding painting is a great way to add a touch of sophistication and elegance to your wedding celebration, while also creating a meaningful piece of art that you can display in your home and share with your loved ones. It's a beautiful and lasting reminder of the love and joy that you and your partner shared on your wedding day.
How Does the Process Work?
During the live painting process, the artist, Ryan, will arrive at the wedding venue a few hours early to set up, take some reference photos with the couple, and pre-paint before the guests arrive.
During this time, Ryan will paint the beginning stages of the portrait, allowing him to capture the atmosphere and feel of the space. While the goal is to complete the painting by the end of the party, some finishing touches may be required at Ryan's studio.
The end result is a beautiful and personalized piece of art that captures the magic and emotion of your wedding day, providing you with a cherished keepsake that you can display in your home and enjoy for years to come.
