Live Sketch ArtistCapturing your guests in watercolour moments they’ll treasure forever

Hello! I’m Erola, a live sketch artist based in Bedfordshire, creating hand-painted portraits that capture the joy and atmosphere of your wedding day.

Using watercolours, fine pen, and coloured pens, I paint your guests live, on the spot — each portrait becomes a beautiful keepsake they can take home.

I love connecting with people, and beyond the artwork, what stands out is the friendly energy I bring. Sometimes, guests love watching the creative process unfold while I paint — it becomes part of the entertainment and memory of the day.

Whether you’d like simple, minimalist portraits or detailed watercolour pieces with floral backgrounds, I’ll tailor everything to your wedding’s vibe. My setup includes elegant display boards and stands where the finished portraits are shown throughout the event — adding a unique, artistic touch to your decor.

If you’re looking for an experience that blends art, atmosphere, and connection, I’d love to be part of your celebration.

A must for your wedding!

Erola was absolutely amazing at our wedding and we had so many people tell us what a great idea it was to have her there and were so impressed with her work. Erola was very professional and polite throughout the day. She went round taking photos of people and then painted them and they were ready to take home the same day!
There were a few that she wasn’t able to do on the day so she did them over the next few days and got them to me.
I would recommend erola to anyone planning a wedding she will always go above and beyond 🫶🏼💖
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
