How it works

Choose Your Artist!

Each artist has a unique style ranging from faceless watercolor paintings to full body fashion illustrations. Multiple artists may be booked for larger events.

Artists are booked on a per event basis up to 6 hours. Each person takes about 5-8 min to paint on average, depending on number of people and amount of detail on clothing (maximum 3 people per portrait).

Each portrait is painted on professional watercolor paper and will capture the likeness of each individual with detailed focus on clothing and hairstyle.

When guests approach the art table, their photograph will be taken. Portraits will be drawn during the event and will be ready for pick up later. That way there is no waiting involved and guests can enjoy the party! Guests can also stay and watch the process as a form of entertainment.

Once the portrait is completed, they will be laid out on the table and packaged up nicely for guests to pick up and take home before they leave!

How to Book Your Event

Inquire to see which artists are available on your event date.

To secure your date, a 50% non-refundable deposit and signed agreement are required. The remaining 50% will be due 2 weeks prior to your event.

Additional Fees

Artists are based in Southern California and are available for travel. Events located in Los Angeles and Orange County, and San Diego typically have no travel fee, depending on your selected artist.

If the venue is over 2 hours (or 80 miles), there is a travel fee for mileage. Over 3 hours or 150 miles requires mileage and hotel reimbursement. If the venue is over 5 hours there is a travel fee to cover flight, hotel, car.

Certificate of Insurance available (upon request)

Please note it is not guaranteed that every single guest will be able to receive a portrait.
