Live Canvas
Painting

Beloved moments infused with rich color.

A memory captured in

real time. 

Bird's Eye View

Booking a live painter ensures that your day is captured on canvas as the event unfolds. Weddings are most common, but all types of events are enhanced with live art.

Kelsey Shields focuses on immortalizing the energy and uniqueness of your event. Bold hues are grounded in a natural color palette, creating a lively atmosphere that captivates the viewer. Energetic brushstrokes and fine detail ebb and flow leading to a playful, joyous, and recognizable moment in time. 

Far beyond the final painting is an opportunity to involve guests in the process. Seeing a cherished piece of artwork take shape is not something that is quickly forgotten. A live painting is a unique and remarkable way to provide entertainment for your loved ones.

 

As you dance into the night, your painting will be completed and is a reminder the following morning that, yes, that did indeed happen.

DAY OF PROCESS

01. Kelsey arrives early for a seamless set up before guests enter the space.

 

02. Painting begins with an abstract layout of your chosen scene ensuring that the composition is engaging. The top priority is creating a piece that brings your vision to life. 

03. Each event is unique and moving from one location to the next is common. Whenever possible, your painting will be with your guests.

04. Details begin to take shape as the party progresses. 

Your chosen moment, guests, details, and scenery will all emerge in rich color.

 

05. Each live canvas painting takes five to seven hours to complete. The finished piece can be left at the venue or shipped directly to you.
