Live Drawing Your Event Guests

Effortless

I provide a sheet of example poses for your guests, so they don’t feel put on the spot. They can copy poses from the sheet, or do something totally wild! Doing this makes it easier for guests and it makes the illustrations more dynamic.

It is easy to book and can be done 100% online. At the end of the event it is easy for guests to take the art home as it will be protected in plastic sleeves with backing boards, no risk of getting bent or wet!

Striking Style

Depending on the vibe of your event I can do full body illustrations or portrait. I can also do it in your event colour scheme or classic black and white. Whatever we decide on, the final designs will be in my striking signature style!

These are A5 size meaning they are easy to frame for display and will not take too much space once your guests take them home.

Experiential

This is a great way for your guests to dip their toes into the world of live art modelling, a truly novel experience! If a guest doesn't feel like posing while I draw, I can take their photo and draw while they mingle. Imagine getting all dressed up and modelling for your portrait as if you're in the renaissance era, that's one night you will never forget!
