Paint Like Monet
Take inspiration from this multi-sensory exhibition's stunning art by picking up a paintbrush over champagne.
Overview
Until the end of August, Northshore Hamilton is an impressionist wonderland, with stunning exhibition Monet in Paris projecting the French artist's work — and that of his contemporaries — all over its walls. A visit to the event's 2500-square-metre Grand Palais doesn't just mean staring at some of the best art ever created as it hangs, however. Like Van Gogh Alive before it, this showcase is a multi-sensory experience, with everything from Monet's Water Lilies to Edgar Degas' ballerinas being given an immersive spin.
Here's another way to make the most of this stunning event, which is a global debut: picking up a paintbrush and whipping out your creative skills yourself. Take inspiration from the exhibition's dazzling art at Paint Like Monet, regular paint-and-sip sessions in the best surroundings possible.
Happening on various dates — sometimes on Tuesday nights, sometimes on Thursday afternoons and sometimes on Saturday evenings — these classes include an hour walking around Monet in Paris. Then, it's easel time.
Equipment is supplied, as is a glass of champagne, so you can unleash your inner Monet, Degas, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt and more.
This is a gather-the-gang type of experience or a date-night go-to, with tickets costing $280 for two people.
