Old Masters–Trained Live Oil Wedding Painting by Anton

I trained under two of the art world's leading realist painters to bring true Old Masters technique into the present day — and I bring that same discipline to your wedding, painting your first dance, your vows, or the whole room in motion live as it happens. This isn't a keepsake you put away in a drawer. It's a museum-quality piece of oil painting, built to last for decades and grow more meaningful every year you live with it.

How it works

Step 1: Planning your painting (before the day) We'll talk through when you'd like the moment captured and what composition speaks to you — or you're welcome to leave the artistic decisions entirely to me.

Step 2: On the day (arrive early + build the backdrop) I arrive well ahead of the moment you've chosen to set up and begin the background, so the scene is ready the instant it happens.

Step 3: Capturing your moment + painting live I take your direction and run with it — working from direct observation and reference photos, moving quickly to lay in the big picture and composition. Throughout the event I keep refining, adjusting, and enhancing the piece in front of your guests.

Step 4: Evening reveal I present the painting later in the day with a proper reveal moment, so you leave with an original piece of art already taking shape.

Step 5: Studio finish + delivery I spend a further 1–2 weeks embellishing the piece in the studio to bring it to full completion, then it's delivered to your home.
