How your painting gets designed

Writing this at the end of 2025, I've now had over 5 years of experience in how I design your artwork. When I came up with the method in 2019, there was no one else doing what I do (and still none exactly as I do) - so there was nothing to base my process on. Lots of trial and error followed to get to the process today. Here is a quick guide to what I do (without giving away too many trade secrets).

The Consultation

The start is over to you. My role initially is to ask the right questions. You might know what you want as your painting inspiration, or you might just suggest things that mean something to you both but have no idea how they could work in a painting.

After I've got all the ideas, you leave it to me.

The first pages of your proposal will be inspiration. These are sourced from images you send me and ones I find. Here are two first-page inspo boards.

The Design

Through our consultation we'll decided if we want a freehand style piece or a taped up. I will do 2-4 designs for you to choose from. I pay attention to things like composition, scale, and how I get your guests involved and what parts I do.

Here's some examples of previous canvas ideas.

Colours

We'll choose a colour palette - these are sourced from colour palettes on pinterest or inspired by images

That's it. After you receive your proposal your welcome to suggest edits. mash things together. 90% of the time I get it right first time but I'm happy to go back to the drawing board or revisit ideas.

Once confirmed you leave your painting in my safe hands and I'll see you on your wedding day.
