About

Have you ever wanted to be captured in an oil painting? Now you can with Kim's Event Paintings for your wedding day or any other special occasion. My business based out of Austin, Texas is an original and artistic gift designed to inspire a memory and evoke a magical moment in the form of a painting. I have trained and studied traditional painting techniques for years. Rest assured, I will bring my love for painting and my skillset to the table.

Services Offered

As your wedding event painter I will personally help you decide the perfect location at your wedding venue to set up, paint and capture your moment while its happening in real time. I will get there 5 hours early to set up and start painting the background and scenery while waiting for you and your quests to arrive at your wedding venue.

My work is created with oil paints giving you an amazing finish and beautiful color quality. After your wedding I will take your painting back to my studio, add important finishing touches and allow your painting to dry. Your painting gets a final varnish sealing which is necessary to protect the painting as well as to bring out the luminosity and depth you traditionally see in oil paintings. The process takes 3 months for drying, after which your painting will be mailed directly to you. I promise it will be well worth the wait. Contact me for a free phone consultation.

Kim Karnes Wedding Experience

After viewing Kim Karnes' portfolio of several portraits and landscapes it would be an asset to have any of her wedding day portraits in our home. Her attention to detail will last forever. Kim is very professional and caring. She wants to make this event the lasting memory it will become. I would highly recommend Kim for your wedding memory.
