Portraits

Live Painting at Events

The presence of an artist painting live at an event gives people of all ages a great way to connect while experiencing a unique and memorable performance.  There are many ways to approach a live-art exhibition.  While it is advisable to consult with the artist, here are a few examples of different approaches; One option is quick-draw 10-minute Watercolor Portraits done on the spot which guests take home with them as a memento of the occasion.  Another is to have the artist at his easel painting a large-scale work based on a theme in keeping with the motif or purpose of the occasion.  Another option is to have the artist paint a rendition of the scene as it unfolds.  More options are available and will most likely come to light through the course of a consultation with the artist.

"Antony Zito took an old flowered cabinet door and transformed it into a cool, realistic portrait of myself that I felt compelled to buy on the spot. (I don't even like looking at myself either)  Did I mention he did it in about 7 minutes?  Because there is no way I could sit any longer. The best quick portrait painter in the business, with an amazing artistic flair. This guy is amazing."   --Patrick McMullan, NYC Celebrity Photographer
