I do live portrait illustration for a wide variety of events, including but not limited to weddings, galas, personal parties, and holiday events. Each sketch takes approximately 5 minutes, and the number of people per sketch is limited to 2.
The rate for live portrait illustration rate is $225/hr, with a 2 hour minimum booking and a 5 hour maximum. Price is firm. A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to secure the date. The rate covers all costs including travel up to 50 miles outside the Twin Cities area.
I am also available to do live sketching of a party or event that is not specifically portraits of guests: i.e.: a sketch of a wedding ceremony, an art opening, or a birthday party. These illustrations are similar in level of detail to the live portrait sketches, and are charged at the same hourly rate.
I do travel out of state for events: please contact me for more information regarding travel fees.
Email biros.lucie@gmail.com for booking.
