      The perfect keepsakes! Your guests will receive a one-of-a-kind watercolour portrait from your event which is uniquely and artfully created in-the-moment by Charlotte. Live guest illustrations are offered by the hour so you can pick a perfect time block that suits your number of guests and your event schedule. 

      How does it work?

      Your guests can come up to me at any time during your event to have their photo taken. Their illustrations will be created from these photos using copic markers and watercolours on high quality 200gsm watercolour paper. Each illustration be packaged in cellophane sleeves for protection to take home.

      How many portraits can I create per hour? 

      You can choose between 3-7 hours of painting time. On average, I can create between 8-10 portraits per hour, so you can choose the number of hours that suits.

      The minimum booking is 3 hours. 

      3 hours - 24 - 30 portraits (approximately 48-60 guests)

      4 hours - 32 - 40 portraits (approximately 64 - 80 guests)

      5 hours - 40 - 50 portraits (approximately 80-100 guests)

      6 hours - 48 - 60 portraits (approximately 96 - 120 guests)

      7 hours - 56 - 70 portraits (approximately 112 - 140 guests)

      All portraits are created in the same simple pose (see gallery below for examples). Each portrait is usually a maximum of 2 people, but I can be flexible if you let me know in advance. Please keep in mind grouped illustrations take longer to create and therefore, less portraits will be produced by the hour.

      For large events, you can add a studio session to your booking where I finish the remainder of the portraits from my studio. The studio session is an additional $150.

      Customisation Options 

      Guest illustrations can now be personalised to match your event! Text and background options are totally customisable. You can simply choose what style you would like during the checkout process. Please get in touch with your inspiration and ideas for the text/background so I can start designing! 

      Text = additional $55

      Background = $75

      Text and background = $110
