Frequently Asked Questions

Live fashion illustration is an interactive art experience where I create hand-painted, fashion-inspired portraits of guests during your event. Each illustration is created in real time and serves as a unique keepsake for your guests.

All examples of my illustration style can be found throughout my website, particularly in the Fashion Illustration section. This portfolio reflects both my artistic style and the quality you can expect during a live event.

Due to the bespoke and live nature of this service, custom samples are not created prior to booking.

Illustrations typically take 8-15 minutes per guest, depending on the level of detail, attire, and whether the illustration is created from live observation or a reference photo.

The number of completed illustrations depends on:

Event duration

Illustration detail level

Guest flow and organization

For a 3-hour booking, an estimated 12-22 guests can be illustrated live. Additional guests may be photographed and illustrated after the event as an optional add-on.

Guests may choose to:

Pose briefly for a reference photo and enjoy the event while their illustration is created, or

Sit for a short live observation if they prefer a more interactive experience

This flexibility helps the experience feel smooth and enjoyable for everyone.

I work with professional-grade watercolor and ink on high-quality watercolor paper to ensure each illustration is timeless and display-ready.

I arrive fully prepared with all art supplies. A small table and chair are required and may be provided by the host or arranged upon request. Indoor placement is preferred to ensure optimal working conditions.

Your event is attended by the Artist and a dedicated Assistant. This allows for:

A smooth guest flow

Organized artwork management

A warm, welcoming illustration station while I focus on creating
