I was delighted to provide live portrait illustration at Bucherer’s exclusive Christmas client event, held in their beautiful Covent Garden boutique in London. Guests were invited to explore the latest luxury jewellery collections while celebrating the festive season in an elegant setting.
Throughout the evening, I created bespoke live portraits for clients and guests, capturing each person in just 7–10 minutes. I also illustrated small groups in around 15 minutes, ensuring as many visitors as possible could enjoy a personalised keepsake from the event.
Each portrait was hand-drawn using Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils on custom branded Bucherer paper, creating a premium finish that reflected the luxury experience of the event. Watching their portraits come to life added an interactive element to the celebration, while the finished illustrations became memorable gifts that guests could take home.
Live portrait illustration is a unique way to engage guests at luxury retail events, VIP shopping evenings, brand activations, corporate celebrations and private parties. Not only does it provide live entertainment, but it also leaves attendees with a meaningful, personalised memento that keeps your brand at the forefront of their minds long after the event has ended.
