Your guests will love the artistic element added to your ceremony, cocktail hour or reception. AND it'll make an awesome conversation starter in your home.

There's no better way to capture the energy of your special event than with a Live Watercolor Painting. With each paint stroke, the atmosphere transforms into a beautiful painting.
Your guests will be amazed and you'll take home a memento to last for years to come.

NEXT QUESTION
During booking we’ll discuss the date, time, location, as well as, which scene you would like painted. A well lit ceremony and reception are the most popular!
It includes 5 hours of live painting, materials and the cost of delivery. I will work with you before and after the event to ensure the process is smooth and the final product is something you will treasure forever!
HOW do I BOOK a live painting & what's included?
NEXT QUESTION
I paint with high quality watercolor paint on pre-stretched 140lb paper. The paint is non-toxic and extremely quick-drying, allowing for easy clean-up and transport of the painting and my materials after an event.
what materials do you use?
NEXT QUESTION
Setup in a location with bright, natural light and accessible to guests is ideal. Together, we'll determine the best spot at the venue prior to your event.
My setup is minimal and easy. I bring my own easel and stool. I do require a small painting area (no more than approx. 4' X 6') in advance of my arrival, inside or outside. A good view of the scene I am painting and sufficient lighting is also ideal.
What's your live painting set-up?
NEXT QUESTION
I arrive 1.5 hour before guests arrive to setup and begin the sketching. When guests arrive, they'll soon see the scene come to life. I'll be at the event for approximately 5 hours (including setup). We'll discuss a timeline prior to your event.
Due to the nature of watercolor paint, the painting won't be completed at the event. I'll take back to the studio for finishing touches and framing, if applicable.
How long do you paint & will you finish that night?
NEXT QUESTION
The painting will be delivered to you within 8-10 weeks from your big day. If framing is included than this timeframe may not include the framing prep and the actual framing process as it's outsourced and dependant on the framing company.
NOTE: Due to COVID material backorders and shipping delays are common but status updates will be provided.
When will i recieve my finished painting?
NEXT QUESTION
I'm located in Elkhorn, NE but more than willing to travel to your event! I require an additional travel cost such as airfare and hotel if the event location is outside of Omaha and the surrounding area. Events within 1.5 hours driving distance from Omaha do not require an overnight stay but a travel fee will be reflected in the total price quote.
