Live Painting

Watch an original painting take shape in real time at your event.

Made for your occasion

I offer live painting for brand activations, corporate events, product launches, galas, weddings, private events, and special occasions.

Whether you have a specific concept in mind or want a moment from the event captured as it unfolds, I work with you in advance to plan the painting around your vision and the time available. Guests can watch the artwork take shape throughout the event.

How it works

  • 1. Plan

    Before the event, we'll discuss the concept, reference images, canvas size, and any details you'd like included. I'll plan the composition in advance based on the subject and painting time.

  • 2. Paint

    I'll bring everything needed for the painting, including the canvas, easel, and professional art materials. I'll take care of the setup and breakdown, so you don't have to worry about providing anything.

  • 3. Keep

    The original painting is included with every booking. Same-day collection can be arranged with protective packaging, or the artwork can be shipped later. Optional studio refinement is also available for an additional fee if you'd like more detail or adjustments.

Every package includes concept planning, pre-event preparation, canvas, easel, professional painting materials, setup and breakdown, and the original artwork.

 Painting Options & Delivery 

  •  Oil Painting 

    Oil is my primary painting medium. Because oil paint dries slowly, the artwork may still be wet at the end of the event and will need careful handling during transport.

  •  Acrylic Painting 

    Acrylic painting is also available upon request when a faster-drying option is preferred.

  •  Studio Refinement & Delivery 

    If you'd like additional details or adjustments after the event, I can continue working on the painting in my studio for an additional fee. Shipping can also be arranged and is quoted separately.
