Let’s Find All the Paintings for Figment’s Brush with Masters

February 8, 2023 Kungaloosh Radio

Last week, we went on the search for the Chalk Full of Characters. Now, let’s take a look at Figment’s Brush With the Masters.

Unlike the Chalk Full of Characters, this scavenger hunt is not free. You will have to pay for a map at any of the major stores in Epcot:

Gateway Gifts
Creations Shop
Port of Entry
World Traveller
Disney Traders

There are even maps at the various kiosks around World Showcase.

The map is $9.99, but you can get an AP or DVC discount. It is shaped like an artist’s palette; you just pull off the artwork stickers and match them to the corresponding pavilion.

Once you fill out the map, you can pick a prize. But if you’re like me, just claim your prize when you purchase the map. Sometimes, the prizes do “sell” out, and you’re stuck with something you don’t want.

With the Brush with the Masters, there are four paint-your-own figurines. You can choose Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Figment this year. Any guesses about which one I chose?

With all the basics down, let’s get on to the hunt. While most of the scavenger hunts have the items on the outside of the pavilion, these paintings can be hidden anywhere. You want to look for paintings that have the special Figment gilded frame.

Mexico

Our first stop is the Mexico pavilion. There are plenty of hiding places inside the temple. If you head towards the Gran Fiesta Tour attraction, you might want to make a stop in La Tienda Encantada. The Figment painting is located in this shop.

When you’re in the shop, look above the registers. There’s a little balcony/walkway with the Figment painting.

You cannot see many of the details on Landscape Near the Volcano Figment, but you can spot Figment’s head in the smoke above the volcano. This painting was inspired by Johann Moritz Rugendas’ Vista del Volcán Colima.

Norway

At the start of the Festival, Norway’s Figment painting was located in the Wandering Reindeer. But since the shop closes early, the Cast Member told me to look for the painting near the trolls.

You want to head all the way back into the Norway pavilion to The Fjording. There are trolls everywhere! Walk in and head left. This painting is located toward the back of the store, near the Frozen Ever After exit.

If you remember Maelstrom, you might recognize these guys. Figment is falling back over the falls. Hence the name, Over the Falls. Norway’s piece was inspired by Norwegian tapestries and The Maelstrom.

China

This Figment painting is located in an easy-to-spot location. You will want to walk back to the House of Good Fortune. Just before you reach the shop, look at the two red pillars to the right.

You will find Figment sharing a meal in The Ox and The Dragon. Inspired by a woodblock craving from the Qing Dynasty, this original is named The Picture of the Spring Ox.

Germany

Next, we move on to Germany and try not to get distracted by the delicious caramel goodies. Head into Volkskunst Clocks and Crafts. You will want to walk to the left and look for Figment near the wall (by the plushies).

In The Heart of All Creation, Figment is replacing Cupid in the original piece from Johann Liss’ Cupid (Amor).

The title of the piece is borrowed from the original “Imagination” song.

Italy

As you walk into the Italy pavilion, make your way to Enoteca Castello. Now if you enter the building with the main signage, you will want to head to the left by the registers.

Or you can also walk through the side doors to the right of the main entrance. Either way, Figment is located right behind the main registers.

As in previous years, Figment is reprising his role as Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. But this time, he’s the Mona Figment. This rendition of the painting is usually used in promotions for the scavenger hunt.

American Adventure

In years past, Figment would be located just outside of the American Adventure pavilion. However, it looks like he has a new spot. As you walk into the Art of Disney, head right near the registers.

As The Dragon Crossing the Delaware, Figment is replacing Nathanael Greene, who was one of the most trusted generals in the Revolutionary War, in Emanuel Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware piece.

Side Quest:

If you love all of these pieces and want to take Figment home, it is as simple as ordering through a kiosk in the Art of Disney. Just search for Figment, and you will find several pages of artwork. Not all of these lives are there, but some of the most popular ones can be ordered (starting at $29.99).

Spoiler: I think I might get the Monet piece.

I just…

need them all!

Japan

In the Japan pavilion, there are numerous places to hide a painting. Typically, Figment will be located in the Mitsukoshi Department Store. You want to walk through the front doors and keep looking to your right, past the toys and oyster tanks. This painting is hanging on the wall between the shirt and kimono section of the store.

Figment is catching The Waves of Inspiration. Katsushika Hokusai’s The Great Wave of Kanagawa inspired this painting. In the Figment-centric piece, you can see the purple dragon paddling on a boat.

Morocco

Next up, Morocco. Now you will not find the traditional type of painting in this pavilion. Instead, Figment has been turned into a mosaic-like form.

Head inside the Brass Bazaar. You want to keep your eyes up. Just over the entrance near the registers, Figment is in his abstract form as Pigments of Figment, which is inspired by Zellij tile patterns.

France

The France pavilion is next on the list. This painting may be my favorite of them all. You will want to head to the walkway for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, but don’t walk all the way down. Stay to your left and look in the shop window of Plume et Palette.

Figment is taking a little inspiration from Claude Monet’s Waterlily Pond: Green Harmony. Reflections of Imagination really has that wonderful impressionistic style. I’m seriously ordering this piece for my home!

It can be hard to see with the glare of the window.

United Kingdom

We are down to our last two pavilions. For this Figment, you want to head straight back. Take a look in the window of The Toy Soldier.

You will spot Figment masquerading as Thomas Gainsborough’s The Blue Boy. Our lovable dragon is looking regal in all blue as the Dragon in Blue.

Canada

We have reached the end! The Canada pavilion is another spot with plenty of nooks and crannies to place a picture. You will want to head to the Trading Post Refreshments for this painting. Just before you get to the beer stand, look at the wall on your left.

Figment is hiding above the soda cooler in the corner of the room. This painting is called Dreamers’ Woods, inspired by Emily Carr’s Deep Woods.

We have finished the search! I do love this scavenger hunt, but I wish Disney would put some of the paintings in more accessible spots. They have fantastic details, and I would love to see them up close. Besides that, this is a great game to play when visiting Epcot’s Festival of the Arts.

Let me know if you like this scavenger hunt or prefer the other ones throughout the year.
