About The Magic Portrait Reveal Kit
The magic is all in the stencil. We use a custom, high-quality, low-tack vinyl mask on a 24x36 inch canvas, designed specifically to hide your chosen photo until the very end. Your guests do not need to be artists. They simply splash colors freely across the canvas, and once the paint dries and you peel off the layer, the portrait is revealed. It is messy, fun, and creates a finished piece of art that looks like a high-end masterpiece.
How it works
- Send us your photo: You pick a favourite shot, and we process it into a high-contrast design.
- We ship the kit: You receive the pre-stenciled canvas, 12 pots of vibrant acrylic paint, and 20 brushes.
- The reveal: Your guests paint over the canvas, and you unveil the result at your event.
Why it works for your event
This activity shifts the focus from just attending a party to actively creating something together. We have seen it work at everything from intimate wedding sangeets to large corporate team-building events. It gets people off their phones and talking to each other. Because the stencil handles the detail, the result is always professional, regardless of your guests' artistic ability.
What is in the box?
- 24x36 inch cotton canvas: Pre-stretched on a wooden frame.
- Custom vinyl stencil: Processed for a clean peel-off effect.
- Acrylic paints: 10 to 12 pots of opaque, fast-drying paint.
- Tools: 15 to 20 synthetic brushes for easy color application.
- Instruction card: A physical guide to help you manage the 'Paint, Dry, Peel' flow.
Note: We do not provide the easel. Please arrange for a sturdy display stand at your venue so the canvas stays upright while your guests paint.
