Yes, 3 or 6 monthly installments if you book in advance! But usually, I request the payment 3 weeks before the wedding. When you sign the contract you need to pay only a non refundable deposit to book flights and accommodation.
For guests sketching: I need only 1 chair and 1 large table or 2 medium table! The cards need to dry flat.
For live painting: a chair
A shaded area is always needed.
Minimum booking duration is 2 hours. M. Paola will work closely with you to determine the optimal number of hours required based on the unique aspects of your event and your desired outcomes. Rest assured, I’m committed to ensuring that your event receives the attention and coverage it deserves.
It is not necessary to choose the number of hours based on the guests because not all guests will want portraits. For example, for events with 200 guests, I will never be able to paint them all. So, you can use my service according to your budget!
I use watercolor for sketches, and acrylics for canvas!
Each illustration featuring two individuals typically takes between 10-12 minutes to complete, accounting for any intricacies in outfits or details. We dedicated to working swiftly and efficiently to accommodate as many guests as possible, ensuring that each attendee receives their bespoke artwork during the event.
Please, add also transition time between a portrait and another.
Consider an average number of 6-10 portraits per hour, depending on the complexity of dresses.
In one event I can paint max 90 guests. If you need to paint more guests, I can do extra portraits in my hotel the day next to the wedding.
Be sure to check out my Instagram reels and the portfolio section of my website! In the portfolio, you’ll find galleries for each event, showcasing a variety of styles and moments. Additionally, there’s a miscellaneous section featuring some of my earlier events, where I didn’t have the gear to fully capture my work. Follow along at @liveweddingpainteritaly!
Faceless is my signature. The same pose is a necessity to ensure as many guests as possible will get their portraits.
Remember that is a 5 minute sketch!
Fill out the form, and if your date is available, I will send you a quote. For further details, you can find plenty of information in the “How It Works” section.
At my table, there will be a signage where guests can understand what I do. Sometimes I have an assistant that will take photos and engage with guests, answering any questions they may have. Additionally, we can make announcements about the service over the microphone. For small event, I do all by myself.
