The Dream

 

Jean-Jacques Rousseau's painting "The Dream" depicts a lioness in a state of alertness, as if ready to pounce or defend herself at any moment. She is surrounded by a lush and verdant landscape, and while the scene may appear peaceful at first glance, there is a sense of unease and danger lurking just beneath the surface.

Additionally, the lioness is depicted in a state of deep contemplation, as if lost in thought or in the midst of a dream. This adds to the sense of danger, as it suggests that the lioness is not fully aware of her surroundings and is potentially vulnerable to attack.

Overall, Rousseau's "The Dream" painting is a contemplative and thought-provoking work that invites the viewer to consider the nature of the human experience and the role that animals play in it. The lioness, as the central figure in the painting, serves as a symbol of humanity and the complex and varied emotions and experiences that make up the human condition. The sense of danger and unease conveyed in the painting adds an additional layer of depth and meaning, inviting the viewer to consider the unpredictable and potentially perilous nature of life.

 

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.

 

GOT HUNGRY WHILE PAINTING? FOOD HERO SAVES THE DAY!

We're excited to introduce our new partnershio with Food Hero ( www.foodhero.shop ), which offers a variety of dishes from seven different kitchens for delivery during our events. At the beginning of the event, you can choose your dinner and have it delivered halfway through the session. This means that our evening events will now have a slightly longer time window to accommodate the break and ensure everyone has time to finish their painting. You can pay for your Food Hero order after the event using cash, card, or TWINT.
