Wading Elephant

Yes — Wading Elephant is one of our most approachable paintings. Absolute first-timers finish this one looking great. Erin walks you through every step, and the whole group moves together so nobody falls behind. 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. Erin is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria - Magrath, 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.

Erin is a real local artist based in Edmonton — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 12 out of 14 guests who've painted with Erin say the instruction was amazing. Nora B. said: 'Be prepared to get a little messy. It was great fun and we had paints, brushes and a sketched canvas on an easel ready to go when we arrived.'

Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria - Magrath 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 168 upcoming events in Edmonton this month. You can view them here.

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 Wading Elephant 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 Erin. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria - Magrath — 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 Erin 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.
