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. ### How I Paint Your Big Day - I set up at the venue and paint the couple with the wedding backdrop. - My South Indian wedding paintings include an outdoor gold mandap and an indoor red mandap. - Personal details matter. One wedding painting includes a goldfish symbolising their mother’s presence. - This is what I call wedding ceremony live art - it feels tumba special (very special) every time. ### When It’s About The Show For events and stage shows, I do speed painting performance. Stage mele (on the stage), I’ve painted pieces in 6, 7 and 15 minutes. These include a Kantara piece and a double portrait for Vijaya Enterprises with Kalaagni The Band. ### The Basics I paint indoors or outdoors. We can discuss your venue, the moment you want painted, setup and when your artwork will be ready. ## Highlights Browse through Sumana M's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/sumana007/live-event-painting/featured) - [Video: My 7-minute portrait performance at New Hardwick Indian School shows the stage side of my live painting work.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/3b8e50d7-a657-41c9-bd8e-61cd0aebda01) - [Video: I love capturing the soul of a South Indian wedding.

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 and commissioned art**: I paint live at weddings and stage shows, and make custom portraits, spiritual art and gifts. - **Personal details**: I've painted a baby in an RCB jersey and a symbolic goldfish into a wedding scene. - **Stage performances**: My live pieces include a 6-minute Kantara painting and a 15-minute double portrait with Kalaagni The Band. ## More services from Sumana M - [Commissioned Art & Custom Portraits](https://mytribe.in/sumana007/commissioned-art-custom-portraits) · ₹2.2-18.5K per artwork (includes estimates) (estimate) ## Experts similar to Sumana M on mytribe - [Live Event Painting by Art by Naveen](https://mytribe.in/artbynaveen/live-event-painting) · ₹9-25K per event (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Event Art & Entertainment by Surekha Sundaram](https://mytribe.in/maidenindia_art/live-event-art-entertainment) · ₹750-1,200 per person (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Event Caricatures by Dannyddarts](https://mytribe.in/5yn_arts/live-event-caricatures) · ₹10.5-25K per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Event Art & Entertainment by Shivakumar Kandikere](https://mytribe.in/shivakumar_kandikere/live-event-art-entertainment) · ₹20-32K per event (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Custom & Portrait Henna by Suman Mehndi Designer](https://mytribe.in/sumanhm93mehndi/custom-portrait-henna) · ₹1,800-2,500 per design (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Event Caricatures by Shivaraj](https://mytribe.in/shivaraj_caricaturist/live-event-caricatures) · ₹3,500-7,500 per hour (estimate) · Bengaluru ## Book To book Sumana M, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Live%20Event%20Painting%20by%20Sumana%20M.)
