         A wedding painting is done with everyone around, during the ceremony or reception. Mark prefers painting in the audience of spectators. The guests can have an opportunity to talk with the artist. This can allow an artist such as him to engage with the guests, and explain his methods. Wedding paintings can capture the excitement and romance of the day. When you start to select venues and vendors through Thering.org, you can also start thinking of the inspiration of having a beautiful wedding painting created. Artists have been painting weddings for a long time, long before there were cameras and videos.     

          A wedding painting could also be an excellent thank you gift for your guests and getting prints made up for the people who celebrated your day could be a great idea. There are many artists just like Mark DeSilva who love painting weddings. They can create a beautiful image and capture the moment in a painting. This can be a life-long gift to treasure. It can also be a fun thing to plan out. You can meet with the artist early and they can start working on the background. Once the ceremony or reception starts, in comes the bride and groom and all the guests surrounding them. When you are meeting with the artist, you will give them the inspiration to create something for you. You can pick out the style of painting you want, and get a sense of what they enjoy creating. This is what they love doing, and there is nothing more satisfying than creating a piece of art.
