Sweet 16 caricatures in Rehoboth Beach!

 Every once in a while, I go further-away than usual, as I did this past weekend (to Rehoboth Beach!) for a pink-hued Sweet 16. I took along Artgirl Deb Schafer, and we drew dozens of caricatures for this lovely family event! Then we stayed overnight--and had a fun shopping excursion on the boardwalk the next morning. :-)

We started off in the foyer, for cocktail hour:

Check out her pink boots!

Here are a couple of my early drawings:

Here's one of Deb's:

Then we moved into the ballroom for the main event!

I drew the birthday girl in color by herself, and in B/Wwith her family:

You can see them all here in my IG Reel. 

This was such a fabulous group, the energy level was off the charts!

They made sure Deb and I got to enjoy the buffet: YUM!!!!!

The following morning we drove a mile up the road and got to see this....

Thank you for having us!!!

Sweet 16 caricatures on a YACHT!

 Yes---I can draw while sailing. In bitter cold even! 

We were all awaiting the advent of a big snowstorm, but we packed this party in right before it started...

Here's the birthday girl,

and here's EVERYBODY ELSE!!!!

I only filmed one reaction... because I was so busy...but these two were just too cute...

and you can see it HERE.

When I left it was very cold on the water but SO beautiful!

Thanks for having me!

All-color Sweet 16 caricatures!

It's not often that I get to do COLOR caricatures at a party, but I did, at this Gigsalad-booked Sweet 16 (for a fellow Emily even!)! Most of the girls wanted to be drawn with their beloved dogs--that made it even more fun for me! 

My wonderful client had this to say on Gigsalad afterwards:

Awesome! Amazing! 

We hired Emily for a sweet 16 bday party. The girls had a blast, all received their very own personalized picture.

Emily’s pricing was very much in line with the market and Emily did a wonderful job.

5 stars!!! Highly recommend!!!

 Thanks from this Emily to that Emily and her fam!

Sweet 16 caricatures

 

On Saturday evening, my caricatures were part of an absolutely lovely Sweet 16 celebration at a NJ country club...the birthday girl was a talented dancer and singer---she did BOTH in a performance for her guests (her friends danced too). I was happy to add MY kind of performance too! 

Check out her reaction and the general vibe (from my Instagram)

My client ( birthday girl's mom) found me via my Gigsalad page.

Here's a few of my drawings!

My client left this feedback shortly afterwards ( Thank YOU!!!)

"Absolutely Amazing!! Emily was so wonderful to work with, she was on time and ready to start working as planned. Her drawings were a big hit of the party!! They were simply beautiful. Thank you so much Emily for be there and giving the party that extra thing that brought laughter and fun, you are amazing!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!"

Sweet 16 Caricatures on a Snowy Evening!

 I will start by saying I'm glad my husband has a truck...and doesn't mind driving in snow...

...and also, my very thoughtful client put a lot of effort into moving up the time of her daughter's candy-themed Sweet 16 party, so everyone could get home before the full force of the snowstorm arrived. 

The venue was a gorgeous place to have a Sweet 16 party!

Needless to say, it wasn't supposed to be THAT early on a Friday night ;-)

I drew many, many guests but I didn't get to the birthday girl...so I'll be doing her caricature from a photo. However, here are some of her friends!

And the DJ:

and her dad and brother:

This is how my backyard looked when we got home, safe and sound. Thanks so much to my great client!
