Shoe Portraits

LOS ANGELES FASHION ILLUSTRATOR

Live Event Sketching:

Cristina’s watercolor SHOE PORTRAITS are created on the spot, live at the event, capturing a special moment in time: celebrating new shoe collection launches, bridal events, trunk shows, pop-up shops, brand anniversaries or designer collaborations. Her shoe portraits have enchanted brides-to-be and luxury clients alike with their fluid, minimal aesthetic, including Ferragamo, Badgley Mischka, and Stuart Weitzman.

Guests are spellbound and mesmerized as wet paint transforms into a chic shoe. The magic of watercolor flowing on the blank paper and becoming the shape and textures of a high heel creates an entrancing experience for everyone in attendance. They depart with a bespoke, frameable remembrance of the celebration to treasure for years.

HOW IT WORKS

WHAT IS SHOE PORTRAIT LIVE EVENT SKETCHING ?

Live Event Sketching: At the event, Cristina paints quick watercolor portraits of the guests' shoes or a custom design that fits the party theme. In just a few minutes, she captures the real look of the shoe on paper. She offers two simple style options:

Side view: Shows one single shoe. This style works best for high heels to make a bold visual impact.
Top view: Shows either one single shoe or a full matching pair.

WHAT IS THE GUEST EXPERIENCE?

Delight your guests with a live, interactive fashion experience. As an on-site artist, Cristina paints custom watercolor portraits of their shoe purchases. Whether for a new collection launch or a bridal celebration, attendees receive a bespoke, sophisticated, frameable watercolor keepsake to treasure for years.

HOW MANY SKETCHES CAN BE COMPLETED?

Watercolor SHOE PORTRAITS take approximately 10-15 minutes per each single shoe, and approx. 15-20 minutes per pair, depending on the complexity of the shoe design. In one hour, Cristina can sketch as many as approx. 8 single shoes on size 9×12 paper. For events with a large number of guests, visit the Post-Event Add-Ons page for additional sketches options.
