Live wedding painting - outdoor dinner

Winterswijk, the Netherlands

This wedding couple did not know I was going to paint during their day; the artwork was booked as a wedding gift and surprise from their family.

The canvas is 60 by 40 cm and depicts their outdoor dinner setting: the couple standing with drinks, looking at each other, and their guests sitting at the long dinner table, raising their glasses. As the wedding couple is the focus of the painting, they have more details than the guests. Pets included.

I am based in the Netherlands but also travel all over Europe (for example, Belgium, Germany, France) for weddings.

This is a custom package, within which I painted only a few hours on location and added details during studio touch-ups. See below for a bit of the painting process.
