A live painting for every private party
A thirtieth, fiftieth or sixtieth birthday, a summer evening at an estate, a château or an apartment, a party on the deck of a boat, an engagement, a big family reunion: Giulia Dal Bon paints during the party, among your guests. She arrives with her easel, sets up the canvas where the light is at its best, and the party carries on around her. Guests take the time to watch, ask her questions and photograph the canvas as it grows. By the end of the evening the painting is finished and signed, and it stays with you.
What the canvas shows
Giulia paints what makes your party yours: the house and its garden, the terrace above the sea, the boat at anchor, the dinner table, or the guests themselves. Before the day she looks at photos of the venue with you and prepares the composition if needed. On the night she follows the mood and the music, and she dances with the brush.
For a birthday, the canvas can tell the story of the person being celebrated: a place they love, a passion, a memory chosen by the people close to them. The painting becomes the birthday present that everyone watched come to life during the evening.
Formats for your evening
The canvas of the evening is the simplest format: Giulia paints live during the party, and the painting is yours that same night. With watercolour portraits of the guests, on watercolour paper, each guest sits for her, alone, as a couple or as a family, and takes their portrait home.
For a birthday or a family celebration she can also paint a guest book: a large canvas of the venue on which every guest leaves a few words. And for an evening that calls for a highlight, there is the piano and painting show: Orlando at the piano, with a neoclassical repertoire in the vein of Ludovico Einaudi or Hania Rani, and Giulia painting to the rhythm of the music. Giulia can also paint the canvas upside down and turn it round at the end, if you are looking for a touch of theatre.
In practice
The length is up to you, from about twenty minutes to a whole evening. Giulia paints in odourless acrylic, on an easel that fits in the corner of a living room, on a terrace or in a garden. Outdoors, a little light is enough once night falls; on a boat, a steady spot on the deck. She performs live paintings all over Europe, from Monaco to Saint-Tropez, from Portofino to Lake Como: travel and logistics are agreed together in the quote.

Can Giulia paint at a birthday party?

Can she paint at an estate, a château, an apartment or in a garden?

The performance starts at €400, free quote within 48 hours.
Can Giulia paint during a party on a boat?

Can the guests take their portrait home?

How long does a live painting last at a party?
