Why is live painting a unique value add?

Live painting will leave a memorable impression on your guests and clients

These days we all have a new appreciation for the value of in-person human gatherings. We want those occasions to be extra special and memorable.

Anyone in the business of attracting crowds and putting on live events needs to think outside the box. You’ve got to provide a “wow” factor to exceed the high expectations of clients and guests.

This is a challenge faced by event planners, business owners, marketers, and more.

That's where live painting comes in...

How does it work?

It’s pretty simple: Matt shows up with a blank canvas and creates an original painting that captures the spirit of event. Meanwhile, spectators are treated to an inside look at the creative process and get to converse with the artist at work.

This unique form of visual entertainment will keep your guests engaged and leave a memorable impression on them.

Hang it up in your living, working, or entertainment space. No matter where you display your one-of-a-kind painting, it will make for a great conversation starter and a lifetime of opportunities to share the story behind it.

What's the appeal?

Have you ever found yourself mesmerized while watching online videos of Bob Ross painting landscapes? Well, just imagine how impactful it is to see an artist create a painting in real life!

Matt paints with lots of energy on a large canvas, creating a visual spectacle for those in attendance. The painting itself is built up with an impressionistic technique and vibrant colors — a striking contrast to the blank canvas that he started with.

It’s not every day that you get to see a painting come to life from nothing, while also interacting with the artist as he works. This is a great way to differentiate your event from the ones that your competitors are putting on.

Why should I hire Matt Miller?

Live painting is high-pressure work. It’s mentally demanding for any artist to quickly complete a large painting from scratch in front of spectators. Sometimes the painting must be completed in poor lighting. And sometimes there is weather or wind or some other unexpected variable.

This means you want a live painter who has tons of experience and has seen it all. You want someone who can stay calm and confident while doing this kind of work.

Matt has created hundreds of live paintings over nearly a decade. He developed his live painting skills in challenging conditions: painting live bands and hustling art for rent money in dark crowded nightclubs.

He has since taken his act to other venues and events across the United States: NCAA stadiums, Ironman triathlons, weddings, music festivals, beach parties, corporate events, and more.

Matt is a seasoned veteran, ready to paint for you when and where it matters.

More F.A.Q.

Matt typically does paintings sized 24”x36” or 30"x40" and is happy to go over larger.

Typically, these paintings take between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the situation and duration of the event.

Band portraits usually last for the length of the band’s set, often with extra time painting before or after.

Occasionally Matt will need to take a live painting back to his studio for more work after a live session to ensure that the final product is worthy of his standards.

Matt uses acrylic paint, which is water-soluble, odorless, and non-toxic.

Acrylic paint dries very quickly, which means that painting can be safely taken home after the event.

Matt lives in Panama City and is mainly looking for work in the North Florida and surrounding areas.

He does like to travel for jobs but extra fees may apply.
