Realism-Focused Live Wedding Painting by Mabel

<h3>Listing Description</h3><p>There's nothing quite as special as your wedding day and nothing captures it quite like a custom painting created live, right in the middle of it. As your day unfolds, I transform it into a timeless piece of art, not just recording the setting but capturing the emotion and atmosphere of the moment itself. This isn't a snapshot of your wedding, it's an investment piece, an heirloom that only grows more meaningful the longer it lives in your home.</p><p>My style is rooted in realism and fine detail, with a focus on honoring the real emotion of the day rather than a generic or staged likeness. Working in acrylic, I bring both precision and vibrancy to every piece. Your guests will love watching the painting come to life throughout your celebration, adding a genuinely interactive experience to your event. I'd be honored to be part of your day and create something you'll cherish for a lifetime.</p><h3>How It Works</h3><p><strong>Step 1: Planning your painting (before the day)</strong></p><p>We'll have a consultation to talk through your vision and the moment you'd like captured — your first kiss, first dance, first look, or a moment of your choosing. If you're not sure, I'll help you decide.</p><p><strong>Step 2: On the day (setup)</strong></p><p>I arrive ahead of your chosen moment to set up and prepare, so everything is ready the instant it happens.</p><p><strong>Step 3: Capturing your moment + painting live</strong></p><p>I begin painting live, working from direct observation as your day unfolds, capturing your chosen moment in real time while your guests watch it come to life.</p><p><strong>Step 4: Evening reveal</strong></p><p>You'll see the painting revealed later in the evening — a proper moment of its own, with no posing or pausing your celebration to check in.</p><p><strong>Step 5: Studio finish + delivery</strong></p><p>I take the piece for final studio finishing to bring it to full completion, then it's delivered to your home.</p><h3>Packages</h3><p><strong>Intimate Portrait</strong></p><p>FROM $2,600</p><ul><li>Best for: an intimate, couple-focused piece — just the two of you, captured with realism and emotional detail</li><li>16x20in professional artist canvas</li></ul><p><strong>Timeless Scene</strong></p><p>FROM $3,500</p><ul><li>Best for: couples who want the fuller scene — guests, venue, and atmosphere captured alongside them</li><li>30x40in professional artist canvas</li></ul><p><strong>All packages include:</strong></p><ul><li>Acrylic on canvas</li><li>Live painting throughout your event (6-8 hours)</li><li>Studio finishing after the day</li><li>Tracked delivery to your home</li><li>Professional varnish and finishing</li><li>Tracked delivery to your home</li><li>Fully insured, COI available upon request</li></ul><p><strong>Optional Add-ons</strong></p><ul><li>Additional people from $150/each</li><li>Pets from $50/each</li><li>Rush completion from $250 (varies depending on requested due date)</li><li>Larger canvas sizes quoted individually</li></ul>
