I offer a live watercolor painting service, for weddings and events, in Switzerland, Italy, and throughout Europe, creating unique portraits for the spouses and guests, which they will take home a special souvenir.

Who am I?

Hi, I’m Sara, a freelance illustrator based in the Canton of Ticino (Switzerland).

I am self-taught in the field of illustration.

Always passionate about pencil drawing, over the years I have also developed my watercolor technique.

My style is delicate, and I always try to highlight the details I find most beautiful in a person’s face.

But why “patatini”?

Pesciolini Patatini

Since 2020, I have owned an online shop for watercolor portraits,

called pesciolinipatatini.

But the origin of the name is a little secret.

Pesciolini Wedding Patatini

Since 2023, I have been working on wedding stationery, collaborating with various wedding planners, under the name Pesciolini Wedding Patatini.

SERVICES

Here's what I offer as entertainment

Live Sketching Guests

I illustrate all your guests: individuals, couples, groups of three, grandparents with their 13 grandchildren... it doesn't matter!

I draw everyone!

I use high-quality, Italy-made watercolors on premium A5 cotton paper, creating vibrant and authentic keepsakes for your guests.

This personalization option can be added to all the portrait cards I will use during the event.

A special touch of personalization to make each portrait even more meaningful and unique.

Custom envelope steal stikers

Each portrait is delivered in a transparent protective sleeve to keep it safe and prevent damage while guests take it home.

You can also add a personalized sticker featuring the couple’s initials or a special word, creating an elegant seal and adding a refined finishing touch.

Portrait Style

It is important to choose the form of entertainment that feels most aligned with you. Below you will find the different portrait options available for your event.

An immersive experience for guests: they simply sit in front of me for about 5 minutes to receive a complete portrait.

During the portrait session, we also chat, making the moment more special, magical, and emotionally engaging.

It works perfectly as entertainment during the welcome aperitif and in the breaks between courses.

The number of portraits possible varies depending on the hours available and the number of guests.

Guests who want a portrait will have their photo taken by me, which I will use as a reference for the artwork.

They can then enjoy the event and collect their portrait at the end of the celebration.

This approach allows more guests to receive a portrait while also giving shy attendees the freedom not to pose if they don’t feel comfortable.

Free Participation

Each guest can have their photo taken by me, which I will use as a reference for their portrait favor.

This allows guests to enjoy the event and collect their portrait at the end.

A portrait favor is guaranteed for everyone.

This option is subject to time and quantity limitations.

The artist will be present throughout the day, photographing the most memorable moments of the event.

These photos will later be transformed into illustrations depicting scenes such as the venue, the couple’s exit from the church, guests socializing, and details like the bouquet and more.

At the end of the day, the couple will receive an illustrated memory album, a unique keepsake rich in watercolor-style details.
