Artist recruitment · live events
We paint live guest portraits at weddings and events across Singapore. If you can catch a likeness in minutes while the room watches, we'd like to see your work.

Experience
to be written at your first session
The work
Weddings
Banquets, garden ceremonies, solemnisations. Guests watch their portrait happen, then find it on the Portrait Gallery Wall before they leave. You paint on custom 6 × 4″ templates designed for each couple.
Corporate & brand
Bigger rooms, faster queues. Our on-site assistant manages the line and captures every reference photo, so your only job is the next face.
Private celebrations
Smaller rooms and a looser pace. These are the sessions our artists tend to fight over.

The house style
Every event's portraits hang together on the same gallery wall, often drawn by more than one hand, so each hand has to land inside the Bycraft look. Bring your own kit; the look stays ours.
Slight variation between artists is part of the craft. These samples are the target.
The shortlist
Confident, economical linework: watercolour or ink that lands fast and still feels like the person. We're artistic interpretation, not photo-realism.
Guests watch over your shoulder, ask questions, take videos. The painting has to survive the attention, and so do you.
Any medium, 5–10 pieces. Live-event experience is a plus, not a requirement. We can teach the format, not the fundamentals.
That's when celebrations happen. Bookings run across Singapore; you take the ones that fit your calendar.
The process
Email or WhatsApp us 5–10 pieces with faces in them. An Instagram link is fine. No cover letter, no CV. This page already wrote it.
Join our lead artist at a real event and paint a session alongside them. We handle the room; you handle the brush.
Take the bookings that fit your calendar. Paid per session, with half protected even if the client cancels, plus a loyalty bonus the longer you stay.
Send 5–10 pieces with faces in them. An Instagram link is fine. We reply to every application.
