About Live Event Painting
Art That Happens With You, Not Just For You
Nothing beats the thrill of painting live, right in the middle of all the fun and chaos. I soak up the vibe - music, laughter, those candid moments - and pour it straight onto the canvas. It’s not just a painting, it’s a memory you can literally hang on your wall.
What I Do
- I show up at your event, set up my tools, and start painting what’s happening around me.
- Guests love to watch, and by the end, you get a piece of art that’s all yours.
- It’s a mix of entertainment and keepsake - perfect for folks who want something different.
How I Paint Your Big Day
- For weddings, I usually capture a moment with the couple - maybe by the mandap or at your reception.
- I’ve painted all sorts of weddings - South Indian, North Indian, simple, grand - I enjoy picking out the little cultural details.
- You get a finished acrylic painting, ready to take home and treasure.
- This is what I call wedding ceremony live art - it feels tumba special (very special) every time.
When It’s About The Show
- For corporate events, college fests, or stage shows, I do speed painting performance.
- Picture this - stage mele (on the stage), I paint a full portrait or theme piece in just 7-15 minutes.
- It’s high-energy, bold, and gets the crowd going.
The Basics
- I bring my own setup - easel, canvas, paints.
- Works indoors or outdoors.
- We can chat about what moment you want painted - I’m all ears.
- For me, every painting is a story, not just a picture.

My Story
Hey, I'm Sumana from Bengaluru and Shimoga. Some days I’m lost in my art corner, paint everywhere, other days I’m dancing at a South Indian wedding in a silk saree! That’s me. Once did a mad 365-day painting challenge - uff, tough but wow, your stories kept me going. Art is all heart for me. When I paint Ganesha hugging a child, it's pure comfort, just what I feel. Oh, and RCB is life. Virat’s energy, that’s what I bring to my canvas.
My Work
Live Wedding & Event Painting - I do live wedding painting, especially South Indian events. I paint the magic as it happens, stage, crowd and all.
Custom Portraits of People & Pets - Love making detailed custom pet portraits and family paintings. Every tiny detail matters to me.
Art with Heart - From my Bengaluru art corner, I create with passion. Spiritual art commissions, sketches, all crafted with care.
