Characters

Meet the Artist!

I’m Poppy, the artist behind the Live character paintings.

I have been painting for over 20 years, studying illustration at university in the UK.

Being able to capture a person in a quick 10 minute sketch is no easy feat, but having background in illustration and character drawing, together with my live wedding experience makes the perfect combination.

I love being able to offer guests their own mini artworks and love watching them delight in seeing themselves come to life on the paper.

Got Questions?

What do you paint with?

I paint in either watercolour on high quality watercolour paper.

How big are the paintings?

I create A5 paintings, which 148x210cm.

How long will the painting take to complete?

I aim to complete each character painting in 6-10 minutes. This averages around 8-10 per hour, which includes couples. I tend to limit each guest to just one painting, to ensure as many guests have their portraits painted.

Can we request certain people to be painted?

Sure. I try to start my time by painting the main guests, such as parents of the couple, siblings and grandparents. I then move onto a first come first serve bases.

Do we need to pose for 10 minutes?

Not at all. I know weddings and parties are busy times, and spending 10 minutes standing still to pose can be daunting and not for everyone. Therefore I take a quick photo and complete the painting at my desk, and deliver to the couple once complete.

Do I need to provide any equipment?

Just a small table and access to a power point. I provide all the paper, paints and have my own light. A table where guests can come up and see the paintings and pose for their photos is ideal.
