How does it work?

I arrive 30 minutes early to set up and start as soon as your guests arrive.

During the event, I will draw live portraits of your guests or employees. Each portrait takes approximately 6 minutes.

Your guests can come in pairs or alone for a portrait or to look at the portraits that are already finished and hanging on the wall.

Afterwards, everyone takes their own portrait home with them.
