Live event illustration
Fashion illustration experience
I have been working as a live illustrator at luxury events and weddings for the last 7 plus years, and each time I find myself touched and delighted by people's joy and interest in having their portrait taken. In seeing themselves through the artists eye.
It is a truly unique experience that leaves each guests and client with a personalised gift that they cherish forever. A memory guaranteed to always remind them of the great experience you created and how much you truly appreciate them.
3 reasons you should have a live illustrator at your event
New experience for your clients
For most people, this will be the first opportunity the've had to have their portrait drawn, to see the process happen in front of them, one that will your event a truly memorable experience, one they will always connect with you and your brand.
Happy clients care & share
Nothing spreads the world like a good old word of mouth & happy clients like to tell everyone about their joy and nowhere does the word spread faster than on social media: your guests will post about it, tag you, tell their friends. At the same time when your clients and guests feel like you care about them they will in turn care even more about you.
Perfect for couples
Very often at events couples will want a memento of them together, and such portratis are both an experience to remember and a tangible gift for them to take home. Couples portraits naturally take a bit more time but 15-20 minutes is a short time to wait, considering the everlasting gift they will have to always remind them of your event.
Three things I need to draw live at your event:
- Small table set in a well lit area with enough space that people can stand and observe without crowding. Nothing captures the attention of people as skill and talent does and a small crowd always forms, watching the magic happening before their eyes.
- Watercolour paper, size depending on clients needs. Mostly A5 or A4, although I work on bigger formats as well. It is best practice for the client to brand the paper with their logo before the event.
- A glass of water for the watercolors ( no drinking and drawing, we want everyone looking beautiful in their portraits :-))
