FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhat is live portrait drawing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nLive portrait drawing involves sketching a subject in real-time, focusing on capturing quick, expressive likenesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What materials do you use?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI draw portraits in black archival ink and and add color accents with colored pencils. I use heavyweight, acid-free drawing paper. This ensures that the artwork does not deteriorate over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Portraits are 8×10″ size and packaged with a backing board and plastic sleeve to protect the artwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What kind of events are you available for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nLive portraits are great for events like weddings, corporate functions, brand activations, birthday parties, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As long as your venue can accommodate a small table and a couple chairs for guests to sit, then we will be able to work together! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What does it actually look like to have live portraits at an event?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI will have a small table and a couple chairs available for guests to sit while I draw them in real-time. One drawing typically takes 7-10 mins. I typically draw portraits with one, two or a maximum of three subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guests also have the option of sending me a picture of themselves and I can use it as a reference to draw them instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Examples of recent live portrait artwork are listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How much do live portraits cost?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMy booking fee depends on the length of the event. Send me a message to learn more about pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you travel for events?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI draw for events in the Austin, TX metro area. If your event is outside of the Austin metro area, I charge a travel fee based on the distance + any lodging required to work the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do I contact you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSend me a message<\/strong><\/a> and let me know when, where and how long your event is and we can take it from there.
