Live canvas painting is a stunning and meaningful way to capture the magic of your wedding day. This one-of-a-kind experience provides you with a timeless piece of art to cherish for years to come. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect when you choose live canvas painting for your wedding.
Before Your Wedding
The process begins with a consultation to go over how everything works and to answer any questions you may have. Once your date is secured, we’ll schedule a follow-up discussion about a month before your wedding to finalize the details of your painting. During this discussion, we’ll decide on the moment you want captured on canvas—whether it’s your first kiss, walking down the aisle, your first dance, or another special moment. We’ll also talk about any other details you’d like included, such as specific guests, decor elements, any pets etc. This ensures that the artwork reflects your vision and any special memories you want captured.
On Your Wedding Day
I’ll arrive at your venue 1-2 hours early to set up my easel and begin sketching and painting the background. This allows me to capture the ambiance of the venue, from the architecture to the floral arrangements, so the painting feels authentic and immersive.
Once the chosen moment happens—whether it’s your first kiss or first dance—I’ll take a quick photo to use as a reference. This ensures I can capture every detail of that special moment, even as the festivities continue.
For the rest of the evening, I’ll paint live, bringing your moment to life on canvas. Guests often enjoy watching the process and seeing the painting evolve throughout the night. By the end of the reception, most of the painting will be complete, giving you and your guests a glimpse of the final piece.
After the Wedding
Once the event is over, I’ll take the painting back to my studio to add the finishing touches and enhance the details. This includes refining key elements, adding depth and texture, and applying a protective varnish to preserve the artwork.
Within 4-6 weeks, I’ll arrange to deliver the finished painting to you. If you’re local, I’ll personally drop it off; otherwise, I’ll carefully package and ship it to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.
Why Choose Live Canvas Painting?
A live canvas painting is more than just a piece of art; it’s a memory captured in time. Watching the painting come to life during your wedding adds an artistic and interactive element to your celebration, and the finished piece becomes a cherished heirloom that tells the story of your love.
