On the day, I require a table and a chair.
An indoor setup is essential if the temperature is below 18°C or if it ’s windy or wet outside.

On average, it takes 10 minutes per person:
5-6 individual portraits or 4 couple portraits per hour

Please note that the total number of illustrations may vary depending on conditions:

•  Some outfits may require more or less time to capture.
•  I work efficiently and can sustain a steady pace when there ’s a continuous flow of people. However, delays or an unresponsive audience can slow things down.
•  Relocating my setup or working in particularly dim lighting can also affect the pace.

Rest assured, I ’m committed to creating as many portraits as possible.
I ’m passionate about my work and strive to use every minute effectively.

I can also work from photos during events. However, please note that photo-based portraits can take slightly longer than live illustrations. I prefer working face-to-face, especially at large events, as this approach engages the guests. Those who want a portrait the most are generally more willing to wait, stand, and pose briefly, which creates a great viewing experience for others as well.

Taking a photo takes only a moment, and I can capture many in just a few minutes, but painting each one is a time-consuming process.

If you have a VIP list of guests to prioritize, please assign someone to manage this list and guide those individuals to me when it ’s their turn. Alternatively, I can bring an assistant for an additional £20 per hour to help coordinate guests. This allows me to work non-stop without interruptions.
