I need adequate space and lighting at your venue to ensure the crowd can see the layers build up over the 6-hour duration. This is not about quiet studio work. It is about managing the energy of the event while ensuring the historical details—like the relief work I did for the Shivaji Maharaj piece—stay sharp and accurate on a 5-foot canvas. Creating art on a 5-foot canvas while an audience watches is a high-pressure environment, but that is where the energy comes from. My process for these large-scale pieces usually begins with a concept—often historical scenes or cultural heritage themes—that I adapt for a live format. ### The Process For these events, I use heavy-body acrylics. They dry fast, which is crucial when you have only a few hours to complete a complex scene from start to finish. I bring my own heavy-duty wooden studio easel and lighting clip-ons, as standard venue lighting is rarely enough for detailed painting. ### Practical Logistics * **Setup:** I require a dedicated area with enough clearance for me to move freely around the easel. * **Timeline:** These pieces are designed for 4 to 6-hour events. This allows for a steady progression that keeps the audience engaged. * **Subject Matter:** Whether it is a historical scene, a tribute to specific cultural art like Vinayak Karmarkar’s sculptures, or a landscape, the subject needs to be decided in advance so I can prepare the composition. Everything I paint is original, signed, and yours to keep at the end of the night. Because of the size (36x60 inches), I handle the logistics of moving the canvas to and from your venue in Mumbai. If you have a specific theme or a historical narrative you want to see represented, let's discuss it before the event day so I can plan the strokes. ## About Sanket Thorat I'm Sanket, a painter from Mumbai with a foundation from the Sir JJ School of Art. I don't just paint in a studio. I take my brushes to festivals, museums, and private events, turning a blank 5-foot canvas into a historical scene while your guests watch it happen.
