‍

I want to get the best reflection of your event, so I'll set up my easel, light, and paints, conveniently to your floor-plan, a couple of hours before your event starts.

Because my process starts early with the background elements, I am able to focus on you and your guests once you arrive and capture the desired moments and people "in action" during the event. And this is while your guests enjoy watching the whole process!  

What all is in the live event painting process?

(See video clip of painting process here) First- we talk for a little while to be sure I am getting the best idea of what you envision for your painting. Then, I paint for 5 hours at the event. Because of that amount of painting time, I finish some paintings then and there. But when there are more elements to capture, with larger sizes for instance, I like to take a little more time with the painting details, and then I'll complete the painting during the following 3 weeks.

I will then send you digital proofs by email. When you are happy with it, I consider the painting finished.  After I get your approval, I sign and frame your painting in a professional wood frame, because I want you to be able to hang it right away. You and I talk to find the best way for me to get your painting to you, whether it's by shipping it or driving it to you in person. Seeing or hearing about your reaction to it in real time is precious!

What does a Live Wedding Painting cost?  Fees and sizes - framed for you.

These one of a kind oil paintings are priced according to size. Every painting is delivered in an attractive, gold-toned frame, because finished artwork deserves the best first impression. I choose frames that add 4 to 5 inches per side to the canvas sizes. The size of the painting determines the cost.

‍

A guideline for cost by size oil paintings is $10.00 per square inch for the canvas. This represents a highest quality, stretched linen canvas which is then framed before delivery. There are additional, smaller fees for the live appearance and any extensive travel, but the size cost is specifically inclusive of the amount of materials, time, composition balance skill, framing and delivery. The artist's attention to your event and finished painting is fixed.

• 24x36 inches-  Grand size for lots of design and decorative elements. Includes couple, ornate interiors, flowers, décor, bouquet, and up to 24 additional figures.  $8640 + $625 Live Fee = $9265.
• 18x24 inches-  Gorgeous size (most popular choice!) Large canvas. Includes couple plus ornate interiors, flowers, décor, bouquet, and up to 12 additional figures and mixed crowd.  $4320 + $550 Live Fee = $4870.
• 16x20 inches-  Beautiful size. Includes Couple, indoor or outdoor events, scenery, event décor, bouquet and up to 6 additional  figures and general crowd.  $3200 + $475 Live Fee = $3675.
• 12x16 inches-  Intimate size.  This package is available on a limited basis. Some restrictions apply for out of town weddings. $1920 + $400 Live Fe = $2320.

What are a Wedding Artist's Travel Expense Fees?

Driving expenses for destination wedding paintings

1. For local and neighboring area locations, travel is already included in each package price.
2. Basic mileage expense (.65 per mile) is added for Round Trip driving over 65 miles.
3. If over 200 miles Round Trip driving from Roswell GA studio, a night of lodging is required.  

What are Flying expenses for destination wedding paintings?

Busy artists travel often and love painting at destination weddings! Airfare and lodging are arranged separately at time of event-painting booking for international or cross-country travel to events.

What about After-Event Painting Photos? Using photos of your prior event...

You can easily get an After-Event painting, if the artist is not available on your date or maybe your wedding already took place... because you can still commemorate at any time in your journey. If you have several good photos, but missed the opportunity to have a special day painted from life, I can recreate that "Live Event" feeling for you with my signature quick, loose painterly style.

If I'm not available on your particular date, consider an after-event painting instead!

• After Event paintings are 15-20% less than those painted live. Contact us for details.

Please request a consultation to get more information about an After Event painting.
