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. Logistics 
Live painters are not rampant in all locations in Nigeria, so sometimes they are outsourced from other cities. Travel & logistics may be added if the venue is outside the artist’s base city.

4. Level of Detail
A full scene with people and many decoration takes longer than a short moment, for example the “ the first dance of the couple.”
