speed painting

Fast artistic creation

Speed painting is creating artwork rapidly, typically in minutes to a few hours rather than days or weeks.

The term covers both traditional media and digital art, often recorded and shared as time-lapse videos: I watched a speed painting of a dragon on YouTube.

Competitions challenge artists to produce finished pieces within strict time limits.

The emphasis is on capturing essence efficiently rather than laboring over details.
