Live Guest Illustrations
Illustration Style
My illustrations are created in a playful, faceless style that capture the essence of your guests. With a mix of watercolors, markers, pens, and pencil, I bring your loved ones to life in a way that’s both stylish and unforgettable. It’s more than just a keepsake—it’s an experience, a living memory, and a little bit of magic on paper - and your guests get to watch it all come to life!
How it Works
-
Your guests get their photo taken.
-
I capture their likeness in a watercolor-style illustration on a thick 5"x7" sheet of watercolor paper.
-
​Guests get to enjoy the party and pick up their illustrations on their way out - no need to wait in line!
-
Additional illustrations are completed off-site for any guests who didn't receive an illustration during the event.
Jennifer was the absolute sweetest to work with for our wedding! I had always wanted to have a live painter and after looking through all of her work, I knew I not only wanted her there but needed her there! She did such an amazing job at capturing our guests in the most beautiful painted portraits and we received so many compliments on how much everyone loved her. I would 100/10 recommend her for any event or for any painting you want done. The thoughtfulness and attention to detail is unmatched. We love Dihel Art!!
