Live painting, an often overlooked gem in the world of performance art, transcends the boundaries of traditional canvas strokes by bringing the creative process center stage. I once regarded it as a casual pursuit, tucked away behind the safety of my booth. However, the dynamic shift that occurs when you step into the limelight, billed as a performer, is nothing short of exhilarating. It's a rush of adrenaline, inducing a tunnel vision that echoes the theatrical energy I experienced during my high school drama days. Yet, live painting carries an added layer of anxiety; the performance is timed, and the entire experience hinges on the final outcome. Every brushstroke becomes a crucial note in the symphony of creation.
