Join us for a fun night out with Elena Russell as she guides you through painting "Bumblebee Bokeh." This is not your typical art class; it's a lively, social experience where you'll hang out with friends, sip on your favorite drink, and let loose. All supplies are included, so you can focus on having a blast instead of worrying about what to bring. Whether you have zero painting experience or are a seasoned pro, this Paint Nite is all about the fun and connection. You'll be painting a vibrant scene filled with blues, yellows, and greens that capture the essence of spring. With Elena's guidance, you'll create a beautiful landscape that includes charming bokeh effects and delightful flowers, perfect for any decor. Elena has hosted 297 events and boasts a 4.63-star rating from 273 reviews, so you know you're in good hands. The event lasts two hours, and all painting supplies will be provided, including a 16" x 20" canvas. This event is open to teens and up, so feel free to bring your friends and family along for the fun. Located at the Continental Treat in Edmonton, this venue is a perfect spot for a night out. Just a stone's throw from local landmarks, it offers a cozy atmosphere that complements your paint night experience. Not only is this a great way to unwind, but it’s also one of the most entertaining things to do in Edmonton. If you’re looking for creative Edmonton date night ideas, this is the place to be. Whether you're joining us in person or virtually, you can expect an enjoyable evening filled with laughter and creativity. For those who prefer on-demand options, you'll have the flexibility to pause or rewind as needed. Got a big group?

Hi, I’m Elena! I’m a university-trained financial planner, manager, and fine art school graduate who loves sharing my passion for painting—whether it’s realism, impressionism, abstract, or my favorite, Old Masters from Eastern Europe. Outside the studio, I cherish family time, travel, good food and wine, and adventures of the open road with my family.
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Bumblebee Bokeh is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Elena paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Elena will help you turn any mistake into something intentional. Worth knowing: Paint Nite events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.
A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Elena is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Continental Treat , a real local spot, not a studio. Paint Nite invented this format in 2012 and has sold more than 10 million tickets. The trade-off is honest: lighting varies, it can get loud, and the person at the next easel is a stranger. That's the point. It's more of a night out than a class.
Yes — Bumblebee Bokeh is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Edmonton. Everyone paints their own canvas, so there's always something to laugh about at the end. If you're planning a bachelorette party or a larger group, private events of 10+ get reserved seating and a custom experience.
Elena is a real local artist based in Edmonton — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 7 out of 8 guests who've painted with Elena say the instruction was amazing. Crystal C. said: 'Elena was an awesome instructor. She was attentive to all her students. We are looking forward to many more classes with her!'
Continental Treat is a local venue in Edmonton — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Paint Nite events happen at places like this by design — venues with character, regulars, and a bar. It can get lively. That's what makes it a night out rather than a class.
Yes — we have 167 upcoming events in Edmonton this month. You can view them here.
Bumblebee Bokeh is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.
Yaymaker is Paint Nite. We brought both brands together under the Paint Nite name — same artists, same events, same format we invented in 2012. More than 10 million tickets have been sold across both brands combined. If you used to attend Yaymaker events in Edmonton, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Bumblebee Bokeh includes the canvas, all the paint you'll need, the use of brushes and an apron during the event, and step-by-step instruction from Elena. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Continental Treat — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
This event runs approximately 2 hours. Doors open at 2:00 PM — we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to get settled and order your first drink before Elena starts the painting.
You can reschedule your ticket to any other Paint Nite event up to 24 hours before this one starts. After that, tickets are locked — no refunds or changes. If Paint Nite cancels this event for any reason, you'll receive a full automatic refund.
This event has reached our minimum attendance threshold and is guaranteed to run. If we ever have to cancel a guaranteed event, every ticket holder receives a full automatic refund plus a free ticket to a future Paint Nite — no questions asked. The only exception is weather or force majeure, where full refunds are issued but free tickets are not.
