Live portraits painted in minutes!

Looking for something a bit different for your next event? My Live Portraits are a fun, personal and totally unique way to capture memories, whether it's a wedding, party, corporate do or community celebration.

I set up with my watercolour paints and pens and get to work drawing your guests live, in real time. Each portrait is hand drawn with my signature style (no templates!) colourful, full of character, and guaranteed to make people smile (& laugh sometimes too!)

It’s entertainment and a keepsake in one! People love watching the portraits come to life, and they get to take home a one of a kind piece of art at the end of it.

Perfect for:

  • Weddings (guests love it – and couples even more so!)

  • Private parties and celebrations

  • Corporate events, conferences & brand activations

  • Community events and festivals

HOW IT WORKS

A one person portrait takes around 4 minutes & a two person portrait takes around 8 minutes, I can fit around 6 people on one A5 paper, so there’s time to capture a good number of people throughout the event. I bring everything I need – all you need to do is provide a table (preferably a 4 foot trestle style table) and chair with good space and lighting, and I’ll do the rest.

Why choose live portraits?

Because they bring joy, connection, and a bit of magic to your event. It’s not just about the final drawing (although I try to make sure those are amazing , of course!) it’s the whole experience: chatting, laughing, and making people feel special. It’s a celebration of personality, captured in real time with love and a splash of humour and likeness.

I’m based in Stoke-on-Trent but travel far and wide for live events plus abroad – so if you’ve got something coming up, I’d love to hear from you. The prices listed above include travel up to 15 miles from ST1. For further distances, please contact me for a quote

  • "We hired Chloe to live illustrate at our wedding on Saturday and she was absolutely fabulous. The guests LOVED the portraits and she worked her socks off. She is the loveliest, most talented artist so if you’re sitting on the fence, get off it and book because she’s excellent."

  • “We had Chloe at our wedding in August for 6 hours. Chloe's talent is next to none, she is amazing, she worked so hard to get all my guest painted and wow did she pull it off. Everyone's portraits are absolutely amazing , you could tell who everyone was. It was such a lovely gift for everyone to take home to remember our special day. I would 100% recommend Chloe, she is such a lovely, friendly and talented person and makes a special addition to your big day.“
