Live portraits and art at events – weddings, birthday parties, product launches, any event where you need something a little bit special to mark the occasion. Individual portraits in Promarker, pencil or watercolour can be taken away as mementos, or I can do large board or sketchbook recordings of the event as a whole. 

We honestly can’t thank you enough for the stunning artwork you made of our wedding. Seeing everyone’s faces, picking out moments the morning after was truly joyful, and I know everyone enjoyed it so much. You were a delightful presence at the wedding and we feel really lucky to get to keep this beautiful work forever!

“The drawings look amazing, thank you so much. I love our two, and everyone else was so happy with theirs. I still can’t quite believe that you managed to draw all thirty-something kids in so little time! ”

Birthday party 2015

Offering a uniquely fresh, accurate and flattering live drawing service, I can capture up to 12 likenesses an hour, working in a variety of materials. The most popular has been pen (very fast) and watercolour (very pretty), but I’ve also done events drawing portraits on an ipad and illustrated giant boards to record an evenings entertainment.

Live drawing can add something very special to an event, party or wedding, and not only will I create unique mementos for your guests to take home, but also provide entertainment for large groups as I’ve found people love to watch the live illustrations take shape as much as they love to be drawn. I like to show off a bit by working all the tones and colours in first before adding details, so watching the images take shape can be exciting in itself.

“We absolutely loved what you did. It was truly unique.”
