Two styles, one signature

I draw from a photo taken on site, so no one has to pose. Pace: about 6 illustrations per hour in portrait style, 10 in silhouette style.

Watercolour portrait of a man with sunglasses on his head

Portrait · ≈ 6 illustrations / hour

A detailed, recognisable face in fine ink lines, heightened with watercolour. The keepsake people frame.

Fashion silhouettes of four guests in colourful evening gowns

Fashion silhouette · ≈ 10 illustrations / hour

Posture and outfit without a detailed face, in the spirit of a runway sketch. Ideal for large groups.

Portraits and fashion silhouettes, drawn before your eyes

At a launch, a fashion show or a client evening, live sketching gives your guests a rare moment of attention. I draw portraits and fashion silhouettes in your brand's visual codes, and your guests take their illustration home.

Frequently asked questions

How many illustrations do you make per hour?

About 6 illustrations per hour in portrait style and 10 in fashion silhouette style. One illustration can feature one or two people, so the number of guests drawn depends on the groups who come forward.

Can the illustrations follow our brand codes?

Yes: your palette, cards with your logo, your pieces featured in the drawing. A sample is approved with you in advance.

What format do guests receive?

An original A5 on 300 g watercolour paper, in a sleeve. Digitisation and usage rights on quotation.

Do guests have to pose?

No: I draw from a photo taken on site.

How do I get a quote?

Through the 1-minute quote form. I reply within 48 hours and send my presentation brochure with the quote.

Live illustration, live sketching, live painting: what's the difference?

Live illustration and live sketching refer to drawings made during an event. Live painting can also mean a painting of the ceremony on canvas. My service is drawing guests in ink and watercolour, as portraits or fashion silhouettes.

Is it caricature?

No. Unlike a caricaturist, I don't exaggerate features: I create faithful, elegant portraits or fashion silhouettes in watercolour.

How do guests take turns?

Guests come to my table whenever they like. I take a photo in a few seconds, they go back to the event and collect their illustration a few minutes later. Finished drawings are displayed on the table, which naturally draws the next guests in. With your planner, we can also set up a list or time slots.
