Live Venue Painting

Capturing Your Day in Acrylic

If you’re thinking about a Live Venue painting, I’d love to help create a unique artwork that captures the energy and emotion of your special day. Painted in acrylic as the event unfolds, each piece becomes a personal keepsake — a lasting memory of your celebration.

While I have yet to create my first live venue painting, I bring experience in commissioned acrylic art and am excited to apply this to capturing your wedding or event. Together, we’ll plan a painting that reflects your vision, the setting, and the moments you want to treasure forever.

Available Sizes

  • A4 – a compact and intimate keepsake

  • A3 – slightly larger, allowing more detail and space for the scene

Estimated Pricing

For first-time live venue paintings, pricing reflects current acrylic painting standards in the UK:

  • £850 – £1,200 for an A4 painting

  • £1,200 – £1,500 for an A3 painting

Exact pricing will be confirmed during a consultation, depending on your chosen size, the level of detail, and the length of time spent painting live.

Why Choose a Live Venue Painting?

Live painting captures moments that photos sometimes can’t — the atmosphere, the little details, and the energy of your celebration. It’s both an experience for your guests and a one-of-a-kind artwork for you to enjoy for years to come.

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between studio and live illustrations?

A: I offer both watercolour and acrylic for studio illustrations. Live venue paintings are created in acrylic.

Q: What happens if my live painting isn’t finished on the day?
A: In the unlikely event that a live painting isn’t completed during your event, I will finish the artwork in my studio and send it to you at no extra cost.

Q: When will I receive my finished studio illustration?
A: Studio illustrations are carefully completed and delivered within the agreed timeframe after your order is confirmed.

Q: What happens after I commission a piece?
A: Once your order is confirmed, I’ll discuss your vision, preferred style, and any details you’d like included. For live paintings, we’ll plan logistics and timing. For studio illustrations, we’ll agree on reference photos or ideas.

Q: Can I request specific details or custom elements?
A: Yes! I love creating bespoke illustrations and can incorporate special elements, pets, or objects that are meaningful to you. Additional complexity may slightly affect the price.
