Portrait Painting From Life

Live Painting At Your Wedding Events

If you are looking for an oil painter who does live wedding painting, you've found yourself a good one. You can have me capture your meaningful and memorable life moment with my paintbrushes on the spot for you, which can also act as a kind of performance for your guests. 

I was once asked to do a live painting at a wedding ceremony held on a cruise. I've done live painting at wedding receptions before. I can paint portrait of the bride and groom with good likeness within few hours live at any type of wedding events. FYI, my painting speed is pretty impressive😉. You can find a live wedding painting photo on the right. That was done in around 3.5 hours. 

Contact me if you wish to engage me.

Live Painting At My Studio/Place of Your Choice

I always love painting from life. I can't stress enough how different, incredible it feels to have a portrait painting done from life; to get yourself portrayed on the spot; to get your vibes, your thoughts and the present moment documented on canvas. It's definitely not same as painting from photo reference. You would know the difference if you had before.

If you wish to experience sitting still, posing like a president or queen for a classic portrait painting, with costume or not, at a scenic place of your choice/your home/my studio, please don't hesitate to find me! I'm totally up for crazy ideas as I love challenges.

For a bigger sized or life-sized oil portrait painting from life, I will have to first do a small live paint study for probably a couple of hours before I can translate and finish the full scale painting at my studio. In other words, I will need you to be my model for just an hour or two for the small study. You don't have to pose for all day long if that's your concern. If it's a smaller-sized portrait painting, the process would be easier. You can get the painting the same day after being my life model for few hours.

If you would like to experience this just for fun at a much lower cost, you can try my quick charcoal life portrait at my studio. All it takes is just 30 minutes of your time and then you can go straight home with a portrait sketch of yourself or your family.

Virtual Portrait Sketch from Life (not preferred but it's a way)

If you are abroad or from a foreign country or you don't feel comfortable coming to my studio for a portrait due to pandemic outbreak, no worries, we can always schedule a video call to have your portrait done virtually. I can help ship it afterwards.
