Live illustration
– capturing the moment –
Live illustration captures the character of an event through drawings made on location. People, places, architecture and atmosphere are observed and translated into distinctive artwork, creating both an engaging experience for guests and a lasting visual record.
Suitable for
- Weddings & private celebrations
- Hospitality & brand launches
- Restaurants & food festivals
- Literary & cultural events
- Corporate hospitality
- Heritage & community events
- Garden shows & outdoor events
Why live illustration?
A talking point – guests can watch the artwork develop and interact with the illustrator.
A distinctive record – original artwork that captures more than a conventional event photograph.
Content to keep – finished illustrations can be supplied as originals or digital files for agreed marketing and social use.
A discreet alternative – useful where photography is restricted or a less intrusive way of recording an event is preferred.
How it works
Before – We discuss the event, setting and what you'd like captured.
During – I draw on location, capturing people, places and details as they unfold.
Afterwards – Where required, drawings are developed into more finished artwork in the studio.
