Frequently asked questions.
What exactly is live event painting?
Its a form of live entertainment. Guests give Lex any subject and she paints them a small watercolor painting of that prompt in less than 5 minutes. Not only does this give your guests a fun and unique experience as they watch her bring their idea to life, but they also get to keep their painting as a party favor. Think of it like a photo booth, but even more entertaining and memorable.
What kinds of events can you do?
Lex is currently accepting weddings and other events in New Mexico. Parties, corporate events and other celebrations are just some of the events she can do. Outside of the Albuquerque and Santa Fe area is perfectly fine, but travel expenses may apply to make a further away event possible. Send an email to discuss the possibilities.
Does Lex really paint live?
Yes! She paints in real time while she’s there, either drawing from the people and objects around her, or from a picture on a phone. (This is especially popular for pet portraits.) Guests can watch, ask questions and chat with the artist while she works to bring their unique ideas to life. Lex is totally comfortable painting live in front of event guests.
What are your rates?
Rates can vary a bit, depending on your needs and the event. Typically though, a local event will cost $1,000 for a three hour block of time. This includes time, labor, materials, and all of the paintings created during that time for your guests. If the event is outside of the Albuquerque or Santa Fe areas travel expenses will be added into the rate. A third of your total is due as a deposit to save yourself a spot in Lex’s schedule and the other two thirds can be paid separately before the actual event date.
