PERFECT FOR YOU

What is winecolor exactly?

Instead of traditional watercolor, I use real red wine from your vineyard venue or label of choice. It’s chic and totally one-of-a-kind.

Whether it’s Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, or your estate’s favorite blend, your wine becomes part of the art. Literally.

This experience pairs perfectly (pun intended) with vineyard weddings, wine country celebrations, and couples who love a good glass of wine.

Product Details

My style is all about that clean, modern vibe with a hint of fashion-forward flair. I keep it minimalist, letting the details shine where it matters most — the guest’s attire, hairstyle, hair color, and skin tones. Each figure is drawn with fashion-inspired proportions, meaning they’re a little longer and leaner than real life, giving them that chic, runway-ready feel!

Requirements

  • One 4-6ft. table in a shaded/covered area

  • Two chairs

  • Access to at least one electrical outlet

  • Vendor meal for all 4hr+ packages | one (1) 30min. break

  • Ability to purchase chosen red wine online prior to event

  • Unopened bottle of chosen red wine for display

Process

  • I’ll arrive one (1) hour prior to contracted paint time. Earlier if needed!

  • We’ll take photos of your guests to use for reference.

  • They enjoy the rest of the event, and I’ll paint them throughout the evening.

  • I can paint one guest in about 3-4min.—about 16-20 guests per hour.

  • Once finished, I’ll package and lay them out on a table for guests to pickup.

  • Any additional portraits can be completed back in the studio.

  • These portraits will be sent to you within two weeks of the invoice being paid.

  • Any additional portraits exceeding guaranteed count are $45 each.

  • Optional $5/additional portrait—I'll mail directly to each guest so you don’t have to.

Do you have a flair for being dramatic, wine-obsessed, and a little bit extra?

Don’t worry, me too.

FAQs

  • Yes and no! I can for sure use wine right out of the bottle, but it will be VERY light.

    In order to get darker values, a little prep work is needed. I need to reduce the wine and add a binder + a drop of clove oil to preserve the wine.

    This is why I require the ability to have the wine sent to me prior to the event.

  • You will need to pay a 30% non-refundable retainer upon the signing/receipt of the contract + security deposit (if applicable). The remainder will be due two weeks prior to your event.

    For services that are based on final guest count, I will adjust the quote accordingly prior to final payment.

  • I offer flat travel fees for local events and many popular destinations across the country, so you can get a clear idea without a bunch of back-and-forth.

    For local celebrations, this typically covers mileage and gas, and for destination events it may include gas/mileage or airfare, lodging (usually 1 night for longer drives/West Coast locations and 2 nights for longer flights), plus a per diem for food and incidentals.

    You’ll see the exact travel fee when you select your region on my inquiry form. If your destination isn’t listed—or if it’s international—a custom travel quote will be required.

  • YES! I would love to travel for your event! Destination travel fees will include but are not limited to Artist’s and support staff’s airfare, car rental, lodging costs for two nights, and $100 per-person, per day Per Diem.

  • No, I do not. Just so that all of your tables and decor match, I leave it up to you to provide a linen for my area.

  • Abso-fricken-lutely! I’d feel awful if you didn’t go home with your own piece of art! I will arrive with enough time to set up and sneak around the venue space to get a photo of you (couple/celebrant) and complete that before anyone else’s!

  • No, I can move between spaces if needed! About 15 minutes before cocktail hour ends, I’ll pack up my materials. My assistant and I can either bring the table with us or use another table set up in the reception space. Since I travel light, moving is quick and easy! And we want to be in a visible spot for guests to easily get their portrait!

  • Unless you have a set of identical twins wearing the same outfit and sporting the same hairstyle, I can guarantee the portraits will look like specific individuals. If there is still a concern, no worries! Because I take photos to use as reference, I can point out which portrait belongs to which photo. Reference photos will be sent to you via a Google Drive link.
