Paint like Klimt: "Mother and child" - Guided Maestro event w/ acrylics
Mother and Child is a painting that focuses on women at different stages in their lives. Painted by Gustav Klimt in 1905, it uses soft shades to portray a young woman with a child resting beside her. This painting is also known as, "Le Tre Eta Della Donna".
The mother figure has a slightly dreamy quality, as does the child. This is an element which is often infused into Austrian Symbolist paintings. Klimt's art is appreciated for that style and as a result, viewers may see symbols that they associate with the dream world.
Sometimes Mother and Child is noted for its use of European mother goddess symbolism. In other cases, viewers enjoy it for its exploration of different aspects of family life.
You will paint the picture by following step-by-step instructions from a professional artist. Through the creation of your masterpiece you will also familiarize with different painting techniques. Our themes are customizable, and we would like to encourage you to give your personal touch to your painting. You will paint mostly with acrylics on canvas. All materials provided.
An artwork can be understood by contemplating it, but recreating it opens up completely different perception. We have picked some of the greatest pieces of art history; use them as an inspiration and create your own version of the old Maestros! The max number of participants is limited to 12, therefore you will have your individual painting set and plenty of space to move around. Be our guest for a welcome drink!
