About Live Portraits by Victoria/Live Wedding Painting by Victoria

Victoria Herstedt Art

Artist

Live portrait artist and painter offering drawings at weddings and events in Portland and Hood River, Oregon. Victoria creates 5-10 minute portraits that guests take home as keepsakes, with 6+ years of professional art experience.

I really strive to capture people's likeness- people often say their portrait really looks like them! Whether I'm doing guest potraits or live wedding painting, I really want to capture the people in a true to life way, while still putting my own spin on it. My live wedding painting is also a little different because I use watercolor, while most live painters use an opaque paint. I find the translucency of watercolor really brings a beautiful quality to the work!

In three words: Creative, Innovative, Whimsical

    We worked with Tori on a private event this summer. They were super easy to book with, communicative throughout the planning process and very professional day of. My guests loved their portraits and the time spent on each creation was just short enough for everyone who wanted one to receive one over the 3 hour event. Thanks so much Tori!

    My friend and I sat for Victoria at the farmer’s market in downtown Portland and I’m so glad we did. I was really impressed with how she was able to work so fast while still managing to sketch in all of the emotion/little expressions that made us instantly recognizable without exaggerating our features. She’s also just genuinely warm and fun to chat with – I get a bit nervous when I’m looked at for long periods of time but she put me at ease. I keep the drawing by my desk, I just love it. :) Highly recommend.
