What is live event illustration?
- Live event illustration
- A form of artistic event entertainment where an illustrator paints portraits of guests during the event (wedding, gala, conference). Each illustration is completed in 7–10 minutes and given to the guest as a keepsake.
- Watercolor portrait
- A portrait made with watercolor paints on paper, characterized by soft color transitions and hand-painted texture. At Sketches by Flores we use fast-drying watercolor paints, A6 or A5 format.
- Alternative to a photo booth
- Live event illustrations serve as a memento for guests – each one takes home a personalized portrait. Unlike a photo booth print, the watercolor is a unique, hand-made piece of art.

“I believe the greatest value of a wedding is in the people and the emotions they share. A watercolor portrait captures those moments in a way photography never can.”

Frequently asked questions

What must the event organiser provide?
Pleas for one large table (or two small tables) and two chairs.
Should painting materials be provided?
No, I provide all the materials needed for the illustration.
What does personalisation look like?
One month before the wedding date, we agree with the couple the text of the thank-you note and details of the personalisation of the card on which the illustrations will be made.
How many portraits can be taken during one event?
Each illustration with two people takes between 7 and 10 minutes, depending on the complexity of the clothing or accessories. We work efficiently to provide illustrations to as many guests as possible on the day.
How can you contact me?

No! I take quick photos of the guests, which I send to a tablet to illustrate them. This means that the guests don't have to sit in one place but can observe as I create the illustration.

I always arrive at the venue two hours before the event starts to set up my workstation.

What artistic medium do I use?
I use quick-drying watercolour paints that don't leave a mess.
