Enhance your wedding with live watercolor Guest Portraits by Art Nany, proudly serving Cincinnati, Dayton, Northern Kentucky, and Indiana. These portraits, which can also be enjoyed as art gift cards, are created quickly in an artistic, impressionistic style—soft washes of color, simple shapes, and expressive lines that bring a touch of creativity to your celebration. While the focus isn’t on full likeness or detailed realism, guests will receive light, artistic illustrations they can cherish and take home, such as portraits on canvas. This live wedding painting feature works beautifully during cocktail hour, adding movement, color, and interaction to your event. It offers a modern option for couples seeking a unique art experience that feels fresh and effortless, complemented by the possibility of hand-painted t-shirts and original prints as memorable keepsakes.

To ensure the best live wedding painting experience, here's what I need for setup:
Space: A small area (6-8 ft wide) for my equipment
Lighting:
Outdoor events: No lighting needed as long as the space has natural light
Indoor events: Access to electricity is preferred so I can plug in my lighting
Location: I can be placed indoors, outdoors, near the bar, cocktail area, or any guest-flow space. Additionally, I offer art gift cards that can be used for hand-painted t-shirts, original prints, murals, and portraits on canvas, making it a perfect addition to your event.
