[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/kum_kum_art/live-event-painting/gallery) I take my easel to the streets to paint the city as it moves. From busy market stalls to quiet neighborhood corners, I capture the raw, real energy of Bengaluru right before your eyes. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Here I am working on an oil painting of a street-side fruit vendor's cart.

It is simple: I find a quiet rhythm in the chaos. I usually set up my easel in a 4x4 ft footprint, so I am not blocking traffic or anyone’s shop entrance. If you want to see your favorite Bengaluru spot or a meaningful architectural detail transformed into a live canvas, we can discuss the best location and time to catch the right light. ### Why Street Painting? There is a unique energy in Bangalore's streets that you cannot capture from a photograph. When I set up my easel—whether near a bustling market, a quiet Cubbon Park bench, or against the backdrop of our heritage buildings—I am not just painting a scene. I am recording the pulse of the city. ### The Process I specialize in working with acrylics and watercolors because they allow me to react quickly to the changing light. My setup is minimal; I arrive, find my angle, and start layering. Passersby often stop to watch, and that interaction is part of the work. You might see a curious student or a street vendor peeking over my shoulder; those moments are as much a part of the final painting as the architecture itself. ### What You Can Expect If you are looking for a piece of custom art, I can translate your vision into a cityscape. Maybe it is your first home, a street you frequented as a student, or a local landmark. We can chat about the specific vibe you want to capture—be it the morning golden hour or the moody, rain-washed evening light. Each piece is hand-painted, meaning it carries the texture and soul of the environment where it was born. Let’s talk about your space and what you want to see on canvas. ## About Kum Kum Art I am Kum Kum, and painting is my way to scrub off the dust of daily life. I prefer my easel on a street corner over a studio because the city’s raw energy is what makes my work breathe.
