Live painting

Een unieke ervaring voor jouw evenement, feest of locatie

painted by hand.

Op zoek naar iets persoonlijks, artistieks en onvergetelijks? Ik kan live aquarelportretten maken op jouw evenement – echte mensen vastleggen op echte momenten! Of het nu gaat om een gezellig cafébezoek, een pop-up in je winkel, de lancering van een merk of een privéfeestje, gasten kunnen hun portret laten schilderen terwijl ze eten, drinken, rondkijken of de hele nacht feesten.

A table, water and paint.

I set up out of the way and start painting. People drift over, watch a face appear, and smile as they recognise themselves.

What it is

An evening, painted as it happens.

I set up in a corner with paper, paint, and water, and I paint your guests through the night. People wander over, watch a face appear, and leave with something no photograph gives them.

It works for weddings, parties, openings, festivals and more. Anywhere there's a room worth remembering. Each portrait is a proper artwork, not a sketch, and takes between 20 and 30 minutes.

How an evening goes
01
I arrive and set up.
A small table, my paper and paints. I need light and a corner out of the way. That's all.
02
Guests have their photo taken.
Just a few seconds for their photo, and they can carry on mingling.
03
Faces appear.
The details make the portrait. It looks like nothing for a while, then suddenly it's them.
04
A handful of portraits, made on the night.
People come to me when they're ready, or names go into a draw. Either way, not everyone gets one, and that's part of it. Those who do, take home something made in the room. If the queue runs long, it arrives the next day.

Events I work with

Live portrait painting works across a wide range of settings. Here are the ones I work with most, and what to expect in terms of investment.

Corporate and brand events — from €600

Product launches, staff celebrations, client entertainment, brand activations. A live artist adds a distinctive, human touch to professional settings and gives guests something personal to take home.

Cultural events and community gatherings — from €350

Festivals, heritage events, community programmes, and cultural celebrations. I work well in settings where identity, story, and connection are at the heart of what's happening.

Café and pop-up sessions — from €350

A calm, creative presence for your space. I attract attention, invite conversation, and give visitors a reason to linger.

Private celebrations — from €250

Birthdays, anniversaries, garden parties, and intimate gatherings. A live portrait session turns an ordinary evening into something guests talk about long after.
