Picture this: waves gently lapping against the rocks, palm fronds swaying along the shoreline in one of the most iconic locations in the Whitsundays, and you painting a masterpiece to hang above the mantle.
Not an artist? Not a problem. Coral Sea Resort’s first Cocktails and Canvas event in just under a months’ time will provide the easel and the alcohol to help you get over those paintbrush jitters.
The local resort is putting their own spin on the wildly popular paint and sip format where novice artists get daubing, smearing and rendering with the help of a creative juice – usually wine.
But at Coral Sea Resort, the no-pressure painting will be helped along by cocktails instead of vino and is set to take place on the venue’s iconic jetty.
The relaxing, fun way to dive into painting will see a resident artist – in this case the creative gurus Angela and Joan - take participants step-by-step through creating a landscape, portrait, still life or a smear – if you’re so inclined.
The best part (aside from the cocktails): no painting experience or skills are needed.
The $65 dollar tickets include a Coral Sea Cocktail On Arrival, painting materials like brushes, paints and canvas, a delicious grazing station, and of course the easy to follow instructions from the art teacher.
And, don’t forget, you’ll be bringing home an original one-off image, painted by you on a quality canvas in colours of your choice.
Drag your bestie, make it a date, or get your family along for an afternoon that goes into the night, it’s guaranteed to be loaded with laughter, fun and creativity.
