Information For Painted by Powell

Live Guest Illustration: giving your guests a personalised keepsake of your special day. Each A6 watercolour illustration is hand-sketched, painted and packaged on the day.

A brief overview of how the experience works on the day 🙂

I plan to arrive 30 minutes before your guests to set up in your chosen spot within the venue! Upon arrival, I greet your guests and take a quick reference photo of their chosen partner, so they don’t need to stand and wait while being painted! This also allows me to begin painting right away, through the ceremony. I limit each illustration to two adults to maintain quality and consistency in size. However, children are always welcome to be included in a complete family portrait! It’s a very quick and fluid process, and guests are more than welcome to stop by, watch me paint, or simply enjoy the celebration while I work my magic in the background.

Each A6 watercolour illustration is hand-sketched, painted and packaged on the day, creating a truly personalised keepsake for each guest. I use metallic watercolours to make those dresses pop! I display all the completed illustrations for guests to collect as they leave.
