What is a Live Painting? The Magic of Live Wedding Paintings

Updated: Mar 28, 2023

What is a Live Painting?


"Live painting is a form of visual performance art in which artists complete a visual art piece in a public performance, often at a bar, music concert, wedding reception, or public event, accompanied by a DJ or live music. The artwork which is created live may be planned or improvisational. This live art form is often contrasted with more studied fine art compositions from the same artists, which are generally executed in an artist's studio or other private space." Live painting. (2023, January 26). In Wikipedia.

What is a Live Wedding Painting?


As a professional artist and live event painter based in Maui, Hawaii, I have the privilege of capturing some of life’s most meaningful moments in real-time through my art. My live wedding paintings have become a popular way for couples to enhance their wedding day experience while also taking home a one-of-a-kind, personalized piece of artwork to cherish for years to come.


A live wedding painting is exactly what it sounds like - an original painting created during your wedding ceremony or reception by a professional artist. Using oil paints on canvas, I work discreetly from an easel set up in a corner of the venue, visually documenting your wedding day and turning those memories into a timeless work of art.


Live wedding paintings offer couples a unique form of entertainment and personalization for their guests while also providing an instant sentimental keepsake of their special day. Each painting is entirely unique and tailored to reflect the personalities, style, and key moments of the couple and event. As memories are made, I work to capture the overall feeling, colors, and highlights of the wedding in real time so the couple can take home a painting that truly represents the spirit of their celebration.


Beyond the undeniable sentimental value, live wedding paintings also make memorable decor and an unforgettable experience for you and your guests. They serve as a focal point for photos, encourage interactive moments, and inspire joy and wonder as the painting develops throughout the event.

The Beauty of Live Wedding Art

The result is a stunning, personalized piece of art that serves as a lasting testament to your love. But what makes live wedding art so special?


Your wedding day will go by in a flash, but a live wedding painting will be a tangible reminder of the joy and love that you felt on that day. Whenever you look at your painting, you'll be transported back to that special moment in time.

Overall, live wedding art is a beautiful way to capture the essence of your wedding day and create a lasting piece of art that you'll treasure for years to come. Here are a few reasons:

A live wedding painting is a timeless piece of original art to proudly display in your home, a beautiful and meaningful keepsake that you and your family will cherish forever. It is a source of fond memories rekindled every time you look at the painting.


It's unique and customized. No two weddings are exactly the same, and neither are two live wedding paintings. Each piece is created specifically for the couple and their wedding, capturing the details and moments that are most meaningful to them. It's a truly one-of-a-kind piece of art that can never be replicated. A live wedding painting sets your celebration apart from others, offering an extraordinary experience that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.

It's Entertainment: Watching an artist create a painting in real-time adds an element of performance art to your wedding, entertaining your guests while they mingle and enjoy the festivities. It brings Interactive entertainment and decor for you and your guests. Actually, it's a stunning photo opportunity with an evolving painting and the artist.


It's a conversation starter. As guests watch the painting come to life before their eyes, they'll inevitably strike up conversations about it.

It supports the arts. It does not matter if it is a gift from the bride and groom to the guests or a meaningful gift for the couple from friends and family, by commissioning an original work you are supporting a local artist and contributing to the cultural community.
