Laura Karasek's live paintings offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of creating art in real time, a practice that not only showcases the artist's skill but also engages the audience in a unique and interactive manner.

One of the key elements that distinguish live painting from other forms of art creation is the presence and participation of an audience. Unlike traditional art forms where the artist works in solitude, live painting thrives on the interaction between the artist and the spectators. This dynamic setting allows people to witness the process of a painting being built from a blank canvas, offering them a rare glimpse into the artist's creative journey. 

During live painting events, engaging with the audience is a crucial aspect. Laura Karasek emphasizes the importance of interacting with spectators by answering their questions, allowing them to add brushstrokes to the work, and sharing personal stories, all of which help foster a connection with the crowd. This approach not only makes the event more enjoyable but also inspires and encourages guests, often leaving them smiling and more attuned to their own creative potentials.

In terms of techniques and materials, Laura prefers an Impressionist style when painting live, using acrylic paints as they are the medium with which she is most comfortable. The choice of materials is significant; for instance, acrylics allow for quick drying, thereby accommodating the swift pace of live events.  To achieve varied effects, tools such as brushes, sponges, and palette knives are employed, each contributing its texture and dimension to the artwork.

A memorable aspect of live painting that Laura highlights is the excitement it generates among guests. Attendees, including children of all ages, often relish the opportunity to contribute a few brushstrokes, allowing them to become part of the creative process. The impact of such interactive sessions can be profound; she recounts instances where discussions about creativity and her artistic journey have inspired guests to pursue their creative hobbies or even start side businesses.
