Live Wedding Painting
Your wedding on canvas, painted as it happens.
Kinga sets up at your ceremony, first dance, or reception and paints the moment you chose while it happens, so your guests can watch it come together. The painting is finished in the studio and usually delivered 2-4 weeks after the wedding.
