Live Event Painting at a Retirement Party in CT

I recently had a great time painting a live event painting at an executive’s retirement party in Greenwich, CT.   Here is a little bit about the painting process behind completing  a live event painting!  First, I provide the client with a questionnaire to help outline the key people that the client would like detailed in the painting.  This is typically 5 or 6 faces, but can be more or less depending on time and budget.  At this event, I arrived an hour early (I sometimes arrive even earlier depending on detail of painting desired) to begin painting the background of the live event painting at this retirement dinner party.

Here is a pic of the beginning pencil sketch:

And the beginning of filling in the background/ setting the scene…

Live event paintings are a wonderful way to commemorate a special event- a wedding, retirement dinner, bar or bat mitzvah, special anniversary, awards dinner.  We create live event paintings in the NY Metro area, and travel to PA, CT and beyond!
