A wedding in Provence, drawn from life
Cocktails beneath the plane trees, dinner in the courtyard of a bastide, an evening by the pool: in Provence, the light and the gardens are part of the setting. I set up my watercolour table where your guests gather, ideally in the shade, and draw while the celebration goes on.
I work throughout the Luberon, the Alpilles, the Aix area, around Avignon and Marseille, in the Var and on to the Côte d'Azur. Based in Paris, I travel to your wedding: travel costs are set out in the quote.
Case study: Château de Sannes
In the French formal gardens of Château de Sannes, in the heart of the Luberon, I drew the couple and their guests live, among cypresses, the pool and clipped hedges.
“Besides being talented, Charlotte is lovely, smiling and very at ease with guests.”

Frequently asked questions
Do you travel for weddings in Provence?
Yes. Based in Paris, I work throughout the south of France: the Luberon, the Alpilles, Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, Marseille, the Var and the Côte d'Azur. Travel and, if needed, accommodation costs are clearly set out in the quote.
Can you draw outdoors?
Yes, it is very common in Provence. Together we plan a shaded spot, sheltered from the wind, close to where guests gather: under a tree, on a terrace or by the pool.
What is the best time of day?
The cocktail hour is ideal: guests are free and the light is beautiful. Many couples extend into dinner or the evening with the 5-hour or 7-hour package.
How many guests can you draw?
About 6 to 7 people per hour in portrait style, and 10 in fashion silhouette style. One illustration can include one or several people.
What do guests receive?
Each guest I draw leaves with the original, A5 on 300 g watercolour paper, in a protective sleeve.
