Forget the Conventional, Embrace the Unique

Live event sketching turns any gathering into a joyful celebration filled with colour and imagination. Guests watch their miniature portraits appear like magic, enjoy the wonder of the moment, and leave with a keepsake made just for them.

This modern alternative to photo booths or DJ entertainment brings a warm artistic touch to corporate events, weddings, and celebrations of every kind.

What Happens During Live Sketching

Live sketching creates an experience your guests can watch and enjoy. Each portrait takes only a few minutes, and the process feels relaxed and welcoming. People naturally gather, chat, and watch the artwork unfold.

For larger events, the first part of the evening may include taking photos and gathering guest information so any remaining portraits can be finished and delivered shortly after the event.

The Perfect Entertainment for Corporate Events

Surprise Your Guests with Something Unconventional.

Live sketching brings a burst of creativity to conferences, product launches, team celebrations, and company milestones. It draws people in right away and adds something fresh and unexpected to the atmosphere.

What makes live sketching so great?

  • The sketching station quickly becomes a favourite gathering place.

  • Friends and colleagues connect over each new sketch.

  • Attendees leave smiling with a tiny portrait they can treasure.

This experience also works beautifully for large events such as graduations and conventions. A simple photo wall setup lets guests take a picture and enter their details so their portrait can be created later and ordered online.

A Charming Addition to Weddings and Celebrations

Frequently Asked Questions

How many portraits can you create in an hour?

We can generally create 5-10 portraits per hour, depending on the style and event flow.


Do you sketch everyone in one night?

A party of 20-30 people can usually be done in one night. For larger parties, we paint as many as we can live for the entertainment then finish the rest after the event. This lets us maintain high quality for you!

Yes. Couples, families, and small groups can be sketched together in the same piece.


Do you travel for events?

Events in the Okanagan are common, and travel outside the region may be possible depending on the event. For most locations, delivery or shipping may be available for backdrops and other custom pieces.


What kinds of events work best?

Corporate events, conferences, product launches, graduations, weddings, conventions, reunions, and private celebrations all work beautifully for live sketching and/or painted backdrops.
