Description
I’m an Italian live painter and illustrator based near Milan, with over ten years of professional experience in live drawing and painting. At weddings, I create expressive A5 watercolour portraits, painting guests directly from life.
THE EXPERIENCE
The portrait station becomes part of the celebration itself: guests stop to watch, chat, sit for their portrait and then take home an original artwork created in front of them. The experience combines live entertainment, personal interaction and a unique keepsake from the wedding.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Planning the service
Before the wedding, we agree on the service duration that best suits your guest count and the experience you want to offer.
2. Live portraits during the wedding
Guests come to my station and are painted live in watercolour. I can portray individuals, couples or small groups.
3. Artwork to take home
Once finished, each portrait is handed directly to the guest together with a protective sleeve.
4. Post-wedding completion, if needed
For larger guest counts, additional portraits can be completed afterwards in my studio in the same style. Reference photographs can be provided after the wedding or, if agreed in advance, taken quickly during the event.
5. Delivery of post-wedding portraits
Completed portraits are delivered or shipped together to one nominated contact. The usual turnaround is approximately 4–6 weeks, depending on the quantity required.

A Free Consultation Call: Every artist offers a short call to talk through your vision properly before anything's finalised, so you're guided by someone who knows what actually works on the day.
Quote Revisions Until It's Right: Not sure on size or package yet? Your artist can revise the quote as many times as you need until it reflects exactly what you want, with no pressure to decide early.
