What Is Speed Painting?
What is Speed Painting?
Think of it as art on adrenaline.
Speed painting is live art created in real time before your audience. A blank canvas transforms into a bold, high-impact portrait as music builds and the room leans in. It’s fast. It’s theatrical. And it delivers a reveal moment your guests won’t forget.
Annika Wooton is one of the few nationally touring female speed painters in the U.S., performing everywhere from professional sports arenas to corporate stages and major nonprofit galas. Each performance is custom-designed to reflect your theme, honoree, or brand.
