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.

 

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.
