Planning an event (like a destination wedding) in Germany and looking for a live painter to paint or draw live guest illustrations? Or maybe even more than one artist, if you're expecting lots of guests.
Here on Event Painters Europe, we've gathered several artists from different parts of Germany, each with their own style, who can provide these fun guest favours! Live illustrations of guests offers both artistic entertainment and unique souvenirs from your event. Depending on how the artist works, they take either a reference picture or the artwork is done while you model. They can be focused on portraits or have a more fashion inspired style, showing off the outfit as well.
You can click on their names or the images to learn more. Our live painters from Germany, in alphabetical order:

Besides live painting on canvas, Elisabeth also offers guest illustrations in watercolour. She describes her style as realistic, impressionistic and detailed.

Luisa offers personalised live watercolour illustrations for your guests. She describes her style as faceless but detailed, with natural colours.

Natalie offers both live canvas paintings in acrylic paint as watercolour guest illustrations. Her painting style is loose, slightly abstract and yet full of loving details.
