Live Illustration

Delight and impress your guests with the unforgettable experience of live event illustration—an elegant and unique touch that many may be encountering for the first time. It’s a beautiful way to offer each guest a personalized, hand-painted keepsake to cherish long after your special day.

Whether you're planning a wedding, a fashion event, or celebrating a milestone birthday, we’re here to help make your event truly memorable. Reach out to us to discover how we can tailor our services to suit your vision.

How it works

We will arrive a little earlier than our scheduled start time to set up.

Once ready, guests can come over to have their photo taken, and we will create their portrait from the photo, allowing them to enjoy the event while we work.

Once we're finished, the completed artwork will be displayed in our pop-up gallery, where guests can collect their portraits later in the day.

Our Services

All of our packages are based on the number of illustrations we can complete live on the day, with any remaining artwork finished in our studio and delivered to you after your event. Each illustration takes approximately 8 minutes to complete.

For wedding bookings, the bride and groom receive a complimentary A5 hand-painted illustration, included within the package price — a special keepsake from your day.

If you would like to include additional guests beyond your chosen package, extra illustrations can be added at £10 per person.

Should you wish to upgrade any illustration to a larger size after the event, this can be completed in our studio for an additional cost.

If your guest numbers don’t quite fit one of our standard packages, please get in touch — we’re always happy to create a bespoke quote tailored to your celebration.

FAQ

  • We cover all of the UK with extra charges for travel costs if more than an hour from our base location. We also cover events abroad with travel and hotel costs additional.

  • We require one large table( or two small ones) with two chairs. Preferably in a well lit space, but that’s not essential. And near a plug socket.

  • We use watercolour paints and pen on heavy watercolour paper. These dry very quickly so there’s no mess. Every illustration will come in a clear wallet so it stays protected on your journey home.

  • We have three different packages available which vary in price depending on how many hours you need and how many guests there will be. If you require more guest illustrations than what’s available in our packages, we will tailor a package specific to your needs and get you a quote from there.

  • We try and limit our drawings to two people so as more people can take a piece of artwork home with them.

  • If you’re unsure on how many hours to book for your event, drop us a message in the contact form or by email and we will go through what we think is the best package for your needs.

  • It takes us around 10 minutes each to paint one illustration depending on the complexity of it. Together, we both aim for around 10-12 per hour.

  • No, we cover all events. Wether it be a corporate event, birthday party or baby shower. We’ve got you!

  • Each painting roughly takes around 10mins depending on the complexity of it. There will be 2 artists painting so it will be double the time.
