What is Live Wedding Painting
Live event painting is a unique form of entertainment that creates in an original work of art. During your wedding or celebration, Hannah paints on site, drawing from the setting, atmosphere, and meaningful details that make your event distinctly yours.
The Guest Experience
There’s something special about watching a painting slowly come together over the course of an event. Guests often stop by the easel more than once, noticing new details each time and seeing the piece evolve throughout the day.
Live painting creates a natural point of connection and is something guests can gather around, talk about, and experience together.
