Sure you can buy thousands of paintings in Kuta but if you want to actually see the artists painting them I think the best place is around the Ubud area. In Ubud and the roads leading in an out there are heap of stalls and houses where the artists actually paint the paintings in from on you.
I think it's great if you can talk to the artist and then buy one of their paintings that they have explained what the meaning is to them rather than just buy on off the street that may or may not have been painted in Bali.
