Add the novelty of art to your next event! Heather Griffin performs live pen caricatures, illustrations, and fast watercolor sketches for events in the Dallas, Fort-Worth area and beyond! Give your guests the opportunity to model! Not only will they be entertained during the event, but the also get to take home their own piece of art!
Live Pen Sketches
Some people call these caricatures and some call them illustrations. This pen sketch style is realistic, romantic, and impressionistic. The process of being drawn and conversing with the artist is a novelty to entertain– however the art itself is not drawn to mock or accentuate flaws. The artist draws what she sees and embraces authentic imperfection yet still sees [and draws!] the best in people.
Each pen portrait sketched takes around 5-7 minutes during which the artist engages in conversation with her models! Meeting new people and sharing stories is a large part of the magic that happens during live art sketches.
Live Watercolor Sketches
Add a splash of color and the fashionable whimsy of watercolor sketches to your event. Your guests will feel like they arrived on the red carpet after they receive their watercolor sketch!
These small works of art are begun quickly with a few pencil lines, less facial details, and expressive pen strokes. Then watercolor fills in the space! Each watercolor sketch takes approximately 10-18 minutes pending if it is an individual or couple. Since watercolor sketches typically showcase standing figures, guests will pose for a photograph. Guests can then watch the artist in action, continue to comfortably mingle during the event, and return later to receive their finished piece!
There may be more events photographed than time allows for painting during the event. Extra time can be purchased for additional VIP sketches painted after the event.
