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.
