A live portrait session is an investment. And I know that every euro counts. <\/h1>\n\n
\"live<\/figure>\n\n

Let’s be honest: spending money on event entertainment is never a trivial decision. <\/p>\n\n

I know this because I\u2019m a freelancer and entrepreneur myself. I know what it\u2019s like to have to compare quotes, think carefully about every expense, and ask myself, \u201cIs this investment really worth it?\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

When you’re planning an event, your budget isn’t unlimited. You have to make choices. And sometimes, two artists may seem to offer the same performance, with only a few hundred euros difference. <\/p>\n\n

So, naturally, it can be tempting to choose the cheapest option. <\/p>\n\n

But that’s where I think it’s important to look beyond the price. <\/p>\n\n

Because the financial difference between an average artist and an experienced artist can sometimes be relatively small. On the other hand, the difference in the experience you\u2019ll have – before, during, and after your event – can be significant. <\/p>\n\n

The quality of the artwork, of course. But also responsiveness, organization, punctuality, the ability to understand your vision, and\u2014above all\u2014the memories your guests will take home with them. <\/p>\n\n

Because when you invest in a Live Portrait event in New York<\/a><\/strong>, you\u2019re not just buying a few hours of a performer\u2019s time. <\/p>\n\n

You’re investing in an experience. <\/p>\n\n

And above all, in what your guests will keep once the event is over. <\/p>\n\n

It all starts before the event<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n

If you’re an event manager, you’re probably juggling dozens of requests, vendors, and logistical details all at once. You don’t need to add another source of stress to your organization. <\/p>\n\n

Your first interaction with your artist should be simple, quick, and effective. <\/p>\n\n

You need to be able to count on someone who responds quickly to your requests, understands your constraints, and supports you in planning the event. Transparency is essential, and you need to be able to contact them quickly and easily. <\/p>\n\n

An experienced artist doesn’t just show up on the day of the event with his equipment. <\/p>\n\n

He’s thinking ahead. <\/p>\n\n

He asks the right questions. <\/p>\n\n

He confirms the schedule. <\/p>\n\n

He checks the technical requirements. <\/p>\n\n

He explains exactly what he needs. <\/p>\n\n

For an event held in a corporate or luxury setting, these details are essential. In particular, make sure your artist is comfortable speaking English, can adapt to your professional environment, and adheres to your event\u2019s dress code. <\/p>\n\n

Also ask what equipment they\u2019ll bring, what they\u2019ll need on site, and how they plan to set up their workspace. <\/p>\n\n

And above all: insist on punctuality and a very clear commitment to the scheduled work hours. <\/p>\n\n

On the day of the event, you need to be able to focus on your guests\u2014not worry about whether your vendor will arrive on time or if setting up will be complicated. <\/p>\n\n

Artistic style is obviously essential<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n

But beyond the organizational aspects, there is a fundamental question: the drawing style. <\/p>\n\n

Some artists work in a very free, colorful, and expressive style. Others prefer a more realistic, elegant, and detailed approach. <\/p>\n\n

There is no such thing as a “good” or “bad” style. <\/p>\n\n

There’s a style that’s right for your brand, your event, and your customers. <\/p>\n\n

Take the time to look closely at the artist’s portfolio. <\/p>\n\n

And ask yourself this very simple question: <\/p>\n\n

If this person were to draw me, would I want to keep my portrait and frame it to display in my home?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

In my opinion, that is the most important question. <\/p>\n\n

You’re not investing in four hours of entertainment<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n

Because, in that case, animation does indeed become very expensive. <\/p>\n\n

Invest in results. <\/p>\n\n

Invest in the keepsake you’ll be giving your guests. <\/p>\n\n

The true value of your live sketching event isn’t the amount of time the artist spends on site. <\/p>\n\n

This is the portrait your client will take home with them. <\/p>\n\n

A personalized illustration that he can keep, display, or frame for many years to come. <\/p>\n\n

Brands are constantly looking for new ideas for gifts, surprises, and promotional items to create a memorable experience. <\/p>\n\n

So why not give a gift that’s truly personal? <\/p>\n\n

A custom-drawn portrait meets many expectations: the pursuit of authenticity, the celebration of artistic work and craftsmanship, a more responsible and less ephemeral approach, and above all, a completely personalized experience. Contact V\u00e9ronique Jacquart<\/a><\/strong> to learn more about live portrait sessions<\/strong> and discover how this artistic experience can be incorporated into your event.<\/p>\n\n

What You’re Really Offering Your Customers<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n

My fee is not based on four or five hours of attendance. <\/p>\n\n

My fee is based on the value of the gift you give your guests. <\/p>\n\n

My price is the price of a portrait that your clients will be able to keep for many years to come. <\/p>\n\n

A live sketching session starts at \u20ac1,850 or $2,000.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

So, when you’re choosing an artist, don’t just look at the price. <\/p>\n\n

Look at how professional he is. <\/p>\n\n

His responsiveness. <\/p>\n\n

His experience. <\/p>\n\n

His portfolio. <\/p>\n\n

Its ability to adapt to the context of your event. <\/p>\n\n

Above all, ask yourself what kind of experience and memories you truly want to provide for your customers. <\/p>\n\n

Because, at the end of the day, the difference between a simple event and an unforgettable experience sometimes comes down to just a few hundred euros. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
