Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the cost of a live event painting?My prices start at $1,600 and increase based on size of canvas. All materials are included in my price. To book your date requires contract and 50% deposit. The remaining balance is due 10 days before the event.
-
Do you only paint at weddings?No! I will paint at fundraisers, conferences, birthdays, carnivals, launch parties...you name it!
-
Do you travel?Yes! I am based out of Austin but travel. If event is over an hour commute there will be an additional travel fee.
-
What type of paint do you use?I paint on an unframed wrapped canvas or board with oil paints on site at events. These paints have a beautiful finish and require 3 months to dry.
-
What is your process?I arrive to your event up to 4 hours before it starts to loosely paint in the background. As guests arrive I begin to add people and details. I then take the painting to my studio for a few finishing touches, allow it to dry and apply a necessary protective finishing varnish before it gets shipped to you.
-
Can you paint the wedding and reception?Yes! I absolutely can. When painting both events I can do one painting the size of your choice but the second a maximum of 16" x 20". If you choose to have both painted the second smaller piece will be 25% off.
-
How far in advance should I book you?I book out as far as a year and half in advance. If you are confident you would like me to paint at your event let's put you on the calendar!
