River Guardian
The river kingfisher, also known as the "river guardian," holds a special place in mythology and folklore. According to ancient tales, this powerful bird is said to have the ability to control the flow and direction of rivers. It is revered as a protector of the waterways and is believed to bring prosperity and abundance to those who honor it.
In many cultures, the river kingfisher is seen as a symbol of strength and resilience. Its long, slender body and shimmering scales are said to represent the powerful forces of nature, while its piercing gaze and sharp beak are thought to represent the bird's fierce protection of its territory.
As we paint our own river kingfisher, we can draw inspiration from these myths and legends, as well as from ZhuZhu depiction of this stunning bird. We can use bold, sweeping brushstrokes to capture the power and majesty of this majestic creature, or we can use softer, more subtle strokes to convey its grace and elegance.
No matter how you choose to approach this painting, the river kingfisher is sure to be a stunning and unique addition to your art collection. So let's get started and see what creative visions we can bring to life as we honor this revered river guardian!
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.
