Live painting is my way of bringing art and entertainment together, with each event turning into a one-of-a-kind creative show. You’ll see me start with a blank canvas and finish with a full artwork by the end of the event. ### How My Live Art Works People get to watch the whole process - brushstrokes, color choices, and even the mistakes. Whether it's a festival, a museum, or a company event, the live painting becomes a central attraction. The final piece is something you and your guests actually saw come to life, making it a real memento. ### What Guides My Work I trust my skill and the energy of the crowd. I rarely plan out every detail - bas kaam karte raho (just keep working). The vibe of the event often shapes the painting. I don’t mind working big, and I love experimenting with size and themes. ### Where You Might’ve Seen Me I’ve painted live at places like Thane Art Festival (Maratha scene, huge canvas), CSMVS Museum (museum entrance), Raj Bhavan (landscapes), Kalakari Festival (Hampi watercolor), and INS Hamla for Navy Day (1971 war history). ### Details That Matter You’ll see me working with acrylics or watercolors, tackling landscapes, portraits, or historical scenes. I bring all my gear and can set up anywhere - inside, outside, under tents, or even at night. Mujhe bade canvas pe explore karna pasand hai (I like working on big canvases). ## Highlights Browse through Sanket Thorat's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/sanket_thorat_07/live-painting-art-demonstrations/featured) - [Video: This is the energy of a live painting session.

I did my graduation and post-graduation in portraiture at Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai. "Wahi sab kuch seekha." My English-speaking friends, our "broken angrezi", and our growing group, that's how I grew. Outside college, I wander. Hampi, Lepakshi, old stones and Vijayanagara history end up in my work. MFA done, but sketching and painting won't stop. "Yeh safar chalta rahega." ### My work - **Painting & Portrait Services**: I paint portraits, landscapes and realistic work, and take custom portrait commissions. Oil, acrylic, watercolor, sab chalta hai. - **Live Painting Demonstration**: I do live painting demonstration at events, festivals. Big canvas or tiny sketchbook, I’m up for it. - **European Antique Fusion**: Mixing European antique forms with Indian models, my art is a blend. I let the work speak. - **Spontaneous Watercolor Study**: Sometimes I skip pre-sketches and paint straight, keeping things fresh and intuitive. - **Personal & Commercial Practice**: Commercial kaam chalu hai (commercial work is on), but my personal practice never stops. - **Conceptual Commissions**: I start with drawings and sketches, then the final painting. Price depends on the reference and size. ## More services from Sanket Thorat - [Fine Art & Commissioned Paintings](https://mytribe.in/sanket_thorat_07/fine-art-commissioned-paintings) · ₹18K-1.3L per painting (estimate) ## Book To book Sanket Thorat, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Live%20Painting%20%26%20Art%20Demonstrations%20by%20Sanket%20Thorat.)
