✏️ LIVE PORTRAITS AT YES! ART 2026

Fancy taking home a portrait of yourself, drawn right in front of you?

This year we have two brilliant local artists creating live portraits throughout the day:

✏️ Jason Hawkridge
Back by popular demand, Jason will be drawing your beautiful faces in (E)17 minutes. Quirky, characterful A3 portraits in his distinctive pencil style. £30 @jasonhawkridgeart

🎨 Sylvietta
Whimsical, expressive and spontaneous portraits using a playful mix of media. Expect the unexpected! Sessions are 15–30 minutes at £1 per minute. @sylvietta_art_sketchbook

Your portrait can be taken away once it’s finished, or collected later so you can keep browsing, chatting and enjoying the day.

📍 Big Penny Social, Walthamstow
📅 Sunday 27 September, 12–6pm

Portrait sessions are booked and paid for separately from Yes! Art entry, so don’t forget to get your event ticket too.

100% of portrait fees go directly to the artists. ❤️

⏰ 7:00 to 9:00 pm
📍 The Mill, 7–11 Coppermill Lane, Walthamstow, E17 7HA
