Live sketching - examples below
I can do appealing live guest sketches at your event, using the media of your choice. Options include colour pencils, or pen and watercolour on A4-size high-quality paper. Live sketches provide a great form of entertainment for your guests and give them a special memento of the event to take away. For a small extra charge, I can pre-print a logo or image of the venue with the name and date of the event on every sketch.
I can do approximately 5 or 6 couple sketches an hour, or 8 to 10 single-person sketches, depending on the chosen media and level of detail required. So in a typical 6 hour event, I could sketch a maximum of 72 people if they were all in couple sketches, or 60 people if they were all in single-person sketches. Sketching commissions are usually agreed according to a specific number of sketching hours, then on the day guests sign up on a first come, first served basis. For a wedding I have a package which includes a special sketch of the happy couple in a glass-fronted frame with mount.
If your event doesn't last long enough to allow a good proportion of your guests to get a sketch on the day, for an agreed extra charge I can do further sketches in my studio from photos and post them on. This could be a good option for a reunion or company retiree party where having a memento of the party to take home is important to the guests.
