ABOUT THE SKETCHBOOK

INCLUDED IN PRICE

Your sketches will be hand bound into a beautiful, personalised album. It’s a wonderful way of storing/protecting the sketches and showing them to your friends and family.

I developed this album especially for this purpose, it’s easy to flip through it and your sketches are well protected. You won’t get empty pages, like you would with ready made albums. You now also have a selection of two album types to chose from.

Hand bound on a professional level, your illustrated album is made to last.

GUEST PORTRAITS

QUICK DIGITAL OR TRADITIONAL PORTRAITS

Want to wow your guests? I offer live portrait sessions in three different styles to chose from, painting portraits of individuals, couples, or small groups.

Portraits add a special touch to your wedding or other event, and give your guests something to take home to remind them of your big day. Digital drawings can be conveniently delivered to your guests’ mobile or email inbox when they are finished. Each portrait is painted right before their eyes.

OIL PAINTING FROM A PHOTO

ADDITIONAL SERVICE

I can create an oil painting from your wedding photo or video.
My way of painting is combining the traditional with contemporary, which really brings the painting to life. I usually work in a loose and spontaneous style, yet keeping some areas well defined – a winning combination that doesn’t just replicate the photo you already have.

WHY SKETCHES?

Sketches are meant to complement your wedding photos, as a different way of capturing the day. Sketches capture the essence, the feel, energy and atmosphere of what is happening, rather than just recording a particular split second. They are meant to be fun!

My sketches are done using pen and watercolour and happen very quickly. They are not photographic portraits, I aim to capture memorable moments and stories in a fun and interesting way, with lively outlines and a splash of colour. Some of the sketches are done live during the event and some added later. I only use quality watercolour paper that will last and colours that won’t fade.

TESTIMONIALS

Working with Jana was incredible from start to finish. Her immense talent for sketching has given us such unique memories of our wedding that we will treasure forever. Jana took the time to speak with us before our wedding to discuss our requirements and wants and took all the information on board when sketching on the day. The display of sketches was loved by our guests and Jana took the time to speak to our guests about her work which was a lovely addition to the day. She has then gone above and beyond after the wedding to finish the sketches and create the most beautiful sketchbook, even down to the detail of letting us choose the fabric it was wrapped in to match our wedding colour scheme. We couldn’t say enough good things about Jana and her work and the stunning sketches we now get to keep. Would 100% recommend her to anyone considering a sketch Artist for their day!

Jana’s work is not only stunning, it’s also incredibly lifelike – which we were so impressed by! She blended into our wedding seamlessly and all our guests enjoyed watching her sketching during the drinks reception. Jana also offered us the option of sending a couple of photos from the evening for her to sketch following the wedding which was a lovely addition within the package we booked.Would highly recommend!
