What is the best size for my painting?

Being an artist with over two decades of experience, I've had the pleasure of capturing some of the most special moments in people's lives through my live wedding paintings. Whether you opt for a couple-centered composition or a painting with a crowd, a live wedding painting is a timeless and elegant way to capture the most intimate moments of your Hawaii wedding or Maui wedding. With so many options available, you might be wondering, "What is the best size for my live wedding painting?"


As a wedding artist and live artist in Maui, my artistic style mixes realism and impressionism to create lifelike and expressive oil painting portraits. When selecting the perfect canvas size for your live painting, there are several factors to consider, such as the number of people you want to include in the painting and the level of detail you desire.


Canvas Size Recommendations Based on the Number of People

As your live wedding painter, I assure you that every canvas size, from the intimate 16"x20" to the grand 36"x48" and beyond, is perfectly suited for a couple-centered composition, beautifully capturing just the two of you. If your vision includes an aditional loved one, more guests, or the entire party, I recommend a larger canvas to accommodate everyone, ensuring your painting reflects the full spirit and joy of your celebration.

Every guest is a unique portrait, demanding both time and space in the composition. For parties exceeding the recomendations or 40 people on the bigger paintings, some guest portraits may be rendered as more abstract elements in the painting, capturing their essence with simpler forms or silhouettes in the background.


Here are some canvas size recommendations for different compositions:

16"x20" paintings:

the couple or the couple + one guest (person or pet)

18"x24" paintings:

the couple or the couple + up to 4 guests

24"x30" paintings:

the couple or the couple + up to 10 guests

30"x40" paintings:

the couple or the couple + up to 20 guests

36"x48" or bigger paintings:

the couple or the couple + up to 40 guests

By selecting the appropriate canvas size based on the number of people you wish to include in your wedding painting, you'll ensure that your painting accurately reflects the energy and excitement of your wedding day by adding enough detail and accurate portraiture to each individual.
