ARTISTIC EXPECTATIONS

WHAT TO EXPECT

 

Hiring a live painter to capture the essence of your wedding adds a distinctive touch of romance and elegance to your special day. My artistic style lends itself to creating a soft, impressionistic whimsical painting with a hint of realism, using professional golden open acrylics on canvas. This live artwork can capture a beautifully curated moment, whether it’s the couple’s first look, the ceremony, or the reception. After the initial reveal at your wedding, I will refine the painting in my studio. Your timeless piece, finished with a satin varnish, will be in your hands within six weeks.

PACKAGE DETAILS

  • Your choice of a painted portrait scene from your first look, ceremony or reception reflecting the bride and groom 

 

  • 5+ hours of live painting by Nicole at the event 

 

  • Paintings are completed using professional-grade golden open acrylic paint on a 2 inch gallery-wrapped canvas.

 

  • Paintings are made via the layering method. The painting is not fully completed at the event, but finished with more detail in studio for 15+ hours after the event.

 

  • Mount installed for hanging completed painting + protective satin varnish applied to completed painting to preserve art for a lifetime. 

 

  • Free Studio Pick Up or Delivered within 6 weeks after wedding

TRAVEL

HOW DO I BRING YOUR SERVICES TO MY VENUE?

I am based in Northwest Arkansas and will travel anywhere in the world to paint your love! Travel is complimentary for weddings that are local to NWA. If your venue is outside of NWA, I travel for $60.00 an hour up to 4 hours one way. If you are still searching for a fabulous venue, some of my favorite Northwest Arkansas wedding venues are Osage House, Sassafras Vineyard and the Kindred Barn. These beautiful spaces will not disappoint!
