re: Did any of you have a live painter at your wedding?

I have seen a few at different weddings over the years. Some I have seen do a genuinely good job and have talent. The end product looks great and the couple is really happy with it. A few others I have seen look very half assed, most of the scene is painted prior to the reception starting, and they half arse paint a few people on the dance floor. We didn't opt for one at our wedding mostly because we got married in Dallas and the ones we had seen in Dallas previously all sucked.
