Live Paintings
About live paintings
Should you commission a live painting, the process will look similar to this:
Initial Interest
You express your interest through the commissions section of my website.
We’ll discuss initial logistics like the date, location, and total price dependent on the canvas size and travel fees. A consultation either via Zoom or telephone will follow - I want to ensure we’re happy and on the same page before we sign a contract.
Once agreed, we’ll sign a contract that outlines what services I’ll provide and when payment will be due. A nonrefundable booking fee of 30% is due one month prior to the event date and the remainder will be due one week before the event.
If you have a wedding coordinator or planner, I’ll ask that you put me in contact with them so we can discuss the event’s timeline and best place for me to set up the easel.
The Big Day!
I’ll arrive early the day of the event to set up, connect with your coordinator (I’d love connect with you too if time allows), and begin painting the scene on my canvas.
Depending on what moment you’d like me to capture (ceremony, first dance, etc.) I’ll find a discreet location to snap a few photos so that I can return to my easel and faithfully recreate the moment.
I’ll spend the rest of the event painting. You and your guests are welcome to come observe any time. I’ll have a card that interested guests can scan to navigate to this website, but I will also carry a few business cards for the less technologically inclined.
When the evening is over, I’ll take the painting back to my studio to add finishing touches and document my work. After, I’ll prepare the piece to ship to you and update you each step of the way.
*The paintings are acrylic on canvas, I do not include frames
