About Live Painting & Demonstrations

I use live painting as a way to explore emotions and stories right in front of people. The energy in the room, the reactions, even the interruptions - all of it slips into my brushwork. It’s not just about showing finished art, it’s about letting you in while the work is still raw and taking shape.

What Happens in a Session

• Start with a blank canvas, end with a finished artwork, often a portrait.
• The process is quick, layered, and focused on mood and character - not just a perfect likeness.
• I use both brushes and palette knives to build up texture, sometimes switching between oil, acrylic, or pastels depending on the feel of the space.
• Always a bit messy, never predictable.

Who Gets What

• For colleges or art schools, I break down the steps, answer questions on technique, and let students see the not-so-glamorous parts of art up close. I’ve done this at places like J.J. School of Art and Abhinav Kala Mahavidyalaya.
• At galleries, festivals, or private events, the live portrait painting becomes a centrepiece - guests can watch, chat, even influence the final piece just by being there.
• The atmosphere is less about performance, more about a shared, interactive art session.

My Style

• Heavy on impressionism and expressionism.
• I love thick, expressive painting techniques - what you’d call impasto.
• Every live painting ends up unique because each crowd, each setting changes what comes out on the canvas.

If you’re looking for a painting experience that’s as much about the process as the result, this is it.
