Water lilies

 

Monet's waterlilies are a true masterpiece of the Impressionist movement. With their soft, muted colors and dreamy, ethereal quality, these paintings transport the viewer to a peaceful, serene world. The reference image for our painting event, belonging to Stephanie Clark, perfectly captures the essence of Monet's iconic style. As we use it as inspiration for our own version, we can't help but be struck by the delicate brushstrokes and the subtle interplay of light and shadow.

These paintings depict Monet's beloved water garden at his home in Giverny, France. The artist spent years cultivating and nurturing this oasis of beauty, and it shows in the care and attention to detail in each brushstroke. The waterlilies seem to float on the surface of the water, their petals softly rippling in the gentle breeze. The reflections of the trees and sky in the water add another layer of beauty to the scene, creating a sense of harmony and balance.

As we attempt to recreate this magical world on canvas, we can't help but feel a sense of awe and reverence for Monet's talent. His ability to capture the essence of nature with such sensitivity and nuance is truly remarkable. We hope that our own version, inspired by Stephanie Clark's reference image, will do justice to the beauty and peacefulness of Monet's waterlilies.

 

PIE Events

Treat yourself to a creative night out, where you can unwind, sip & snack and have fun with your friends, or make new ones as you paint along.

We organize these events multiple times a week. You can join us in our Studio, at various bars and restaurants around town, or even in outdoor locations.

You absolutely don’t need any previous experience to participate. We provide a relaxing atmosphere, art supplies, a drawing template and step-by-step instructions from local artists, so you can let go and focus on connecting with others over an "artsy" cocktail and a night of creativity and laughs.

 

What to expect

At the beginning of the session, your instructor will demonstrate the use of materials and provide a basic overview of color mixing. Using a tracing template, you'll draw the outlines of your picture (no drawing skills required!) and then paint along with the instructor's guidance to create your own version of the painting. Your instructor will be available to help individuals if they get stuck.

About halfway through the event, we'll take a break to enjoy drinks and snacks and bond over our artistic skills (or lack thereof). We'll take lots of pictures to capture the special moments. The session will end with fun team pictures (silly ones encouraged!). Your painting is yours to keep, and you can take it home in a recycled paper bag.

 

PAINT & SIP AND SNACK

Our studio goes beyond artistry, boasting a fully equipped cocktail bar ready to tantalize your taste buds. Sip on a delightful array of beverages, from refreshing lemonades and iced tea to a selection of beers, wines, prosecco, and long drinks. Immerse yourself in the artful craft of mixology with our specially crafted, artsy cocktails.

As a warm welcome, we invite you to enjoy a complimentary welcome drink on the house, setting the perfect tone for a memorable evening of creativity. But the excitement doesn't end there! By participating in our painting event, you'll unlock whopping discounts from our extensive bar menu.

Should hunger strike, we have you covered with a curated selection of easy-going finger foods and healthy snacks. Indulge in our homemade salad bowls and wraps, designed to provide a satisfying and nourishing dining experience, keeping your creative energy flowing throughout the event.
