Elevate Your Event with Live Watercolour Guest Portraits

At Greyish Teal, we bring a touch of artistry to your event with live guest portraits—a unique and interactive experience that leaves guests with a beautifully hand-painted keepsake. Whether it's a wedding, bridal shower, corporate event, or private gathering, these quick watercolor portraits add a personal and elegant touch to your special day.

What Are Live Guest Portraits?

Live guest portraits are hand-painted watercolor sketches created on-site, capturing guests in a loose, expressive style. Each portrait takes approximately 3 to 6 minutes and is presented as a 5.5" x 7.5" artwork, ready to be taken home as a cherished souvenir.

Depending on the size of your event, we also offer packages with additional artists to ensure a smooth and efficient process.

Why Choose Live Guest Portraits for Your Event?

  • Memorable Keepsakes – Unlike traditional favors, a personalized portrait is a one-of-a-kind gift that guests will treasure.

  • Engaging Experience – Watching a live artist at work adds a special entertainment element to any event.

  • Elegant & Timeless – Watercolor paintings capture movement, emotion, and light, making each portrait feel alive and unique.

  • Customizable Setup – Whether painting from life or using reference photos for efficiency, we tailor our approach to suit the flow of your event.

The Magic of Watercolor

Watercolor is a fluid and expressive medium, perfect for capturing the joy and romance of a wedding or the lively energy of an event. Each brushstroke conveys movement and light, creating a soft, dreamlike quality that makes every portrait a true work of art.
