Live watercolor portraits are a party favor that you can be sure

your guests will never forget - and never leave behind at your event.

Guest portraits are a beloved addition to any event - from weddings, corporate events, holiday parties - you can’t go wrong adding this fun and interactive experience to your next event.

I arrive an hour before your desired start time and set up my workspace.

As your guests arrive, I capture posed photos and encourage them to engage with me to get their portrait painted. Throughout your event I will work in batches to complete your guests’ portraits.

Any unfinished portraits will be completed in studio for you to disperse to your guests at your discretion.

I work at a rate of approximately 8-10 portraits an hour, all of my work is done in pencil, colored in watercolor paint, and finished with an ink outline. I offer half-body or full-body portraits, half-body falls closer to 10 portraits an hour while full-body lands closer to 8.

Guest portraits are $20 per portrait for large events, determining the amount to purchase is roughly 75-80% of your anticipated guest count.

Event minimum is $400 unless otherwise negotiated.

Travel fees apply to a greater than two hour one way driving distance. I am based out of Hillsville, Virginia and I service all of Virginia, North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee and Eastern West Virginia.

Open to travel work on a case by case basis.

“Marisa was extremely lovely to work with! We told her our vision and she fabulously brought it to life! I can go on and on about her talent and how perfect of a job she does but I recommend you seeing for yourself!

I will forever recommend MAS Design and Art!”
