You got a romantic wedding, or maybe a PhD defence or a business dinner planned. You're looking for a nice and tangible souvenir, way of campturing an impression of the day. Maybe for yourself, maybe as a gift to give to the wedding couple, together with family and friends. If I paint at your event, the painting will not only remind them of this special day, but the act of live painting is a form of entertainment too; it's a fun and colourful performance and triggers the curiosity of the guests.
Sizes and prices
In 4 -6 hours I paint an impression of the event. The painting can be handed over at the end of the event. If desired, I can further render it in my studio within two - three weeks after the event, based on reference photos that I take during the day itself. You can see more details then, such as portraits. When further rendering is chosen, I can also provide the canvas with a protective varnish layer.
Canvas of 120x80 cm
Impression on the day itself: 685,-
Canvas of 100x70 cm
Impression on the day itself: 645,-
Canvas of 80x40 cm
Impression on the day itself: 555,-
All prices are in euros. The prices mentioned include 9% VAT, and exclude travel fees from/to the event location from Dordrecht, in the Netherlands.
My prices go up on January first.
Extra options:
- Further rendering: +175,-
- Timelapse / montage video of the process: +115,-
Travel fees are usually around 40 cents per km (incl. VAT, excluding any parking costs). When the event is very late in the evening / takes place on the other side of the country or abroad, I include hotel costs in my price indication or quote.

These five wedding paintings below are part of my collaboration with Feest op Doek.

The painting above was made live during a very special wedding ceremony. It was planned last-minute, as the bride was terminally ill and wanted to get married with the love of her live. I painted it in just under three hours to make sure I could hand it over. The ceremony itself was quite short as it would have been difficult for the bride if it lasted very long.
Process and technique
We discuss the desired options in advance, but also, for example, which moment or which people should be central on the canvas. If desired, I can also tailor the use of color to someone's taste, so that it fits nicely in the home or office. Depending on where you live, we can discuss your wishes via email, telephone, Skype, or a physical meeting.
On the day itself, I will come to the event and I will bring all the necessary materials with me. For a good impression I need at least 4 hours. It is often nice if I can be there in advance, build up my workspace and set up a background on the canvas. On site I work on a collapsible field easel and wear an apron. Of course you can photograph and film how I work!
All paintings are made with acrylic paint. The best events often take place in beautiful locations; then it would be a shame if a carpet or floor got covered with paint drips. I always take a large piece of vinyl with me that goes under the easel to absorb any potential paint drop.
I require a 30% deposit to set the date and do my preparations.
