How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Live Painter in Nigeria?
Live painting is a one-of-a-kind way to preserve your wedding, birthday, or special event. A professional live painter in Nigeria creates your scene in real time—so guests are entertained and you go home with a timeless artwork.
What Affects the Cost of Live Painting?
1. Event Type & Duration
Shorter events like proposals or private dinners need fewer hours; full-day weddings and receptions take longer and may require more setup.
2. Canvas Size
Bigger canvases allow for more detail. Common sizes in Nigeria include 16×20, 20×24, 24×30 inches, and 3ft×4ft.
3. Location
Available in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Yenagoa and nationwide. Travel & logistics may be added if the venue is outside the artist’s base city.
4. Level of Detail
A full crowd scene with décor takes longer than a focused moment like “first dance.”
