Live Art @ Corporate Events (FAQ)

Live Art - Corporate Events

Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a huge party, we’d love to help you create an unforgettable experience that your guests will be talking about for days to come.

Live Art is when our team goes on-site to paint watercolor portraits for guests live at the event. Our mini portraits are great party favors and our station doubles as live entertainment for all guests to enjoy!

For corporate events, we offer three different options:

Traditional Live Art (bust & up mini portraits)
Fashion Illustration (full body watercolor portraits - see right)
Live Lettering (calligraphy on multiple surfaces)

When inquiring, please let us know which service you are interested in! If not specified, we’ll default to traditional live art.

The Day Of

Additional Details

Q: Why are the portraits faceless?

A: For live art, we paint them in our signature faceless style to accommodate more people and meet the 3-5 minute turnaround. While they are faceless, we are very attentive to the details and capture individual's likeness - like hair, clothing, accessories! We found most guests love this type of style since it is so unique.

Helpful tip: If you are interested in having a more detailed portrait with facial features, please see our Custom Portrait listing. This can be a fun addition to display or use for a guestbook, etc. for your event!

Q: Are there restrictions on live art portraits?

A: Yes! They are as follows:

We can fit a maximum of 4 persons in a portrait. Please note, there will be one copy for group portraits.
To accommodate for as many guests as possible, we limit one portrait per person.
We do not accept special requests during the live art event. If you wish to add facial features, pets, or other details, please purchase from our Custom Portrait listing before/after the event.
