Question 1

Is Dawn of New Beginnings good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dawn of New Beginnings is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Marissa breaks every step down clearly. Most of our guests have never picked up a brush before, and they leave with something they're genuinely proud of. Worth knowing: Paint Nite events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.

Question 2

How is Paint Nite different from a painting class?

Accepted Answer

A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Marissa is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Canadian Brewhouse, 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.

Question 3

Is this a good date night in Richmond?

Accepted Answer

Dawn of New Beginnings is one of our most popular date night paintings in Richmond. You each paint your own canvas — same painting, different results — which always makes for a fun comparison at the end of the night. The mood of the painting is romantic — expect something beautiful to bring home.

Question 4

What's Marissa like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Marissa is a real local artist based in Richmond — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In Richmond, 10 out of 19 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing. Kaidy O. said: 'Marissa Ocean was great in guiding us through our paintings. Her knowledge really helped us in the paint mixing process as well. We’ll definitely be coming back for more paint nights!'

Question 5

What's Canadian Brewhouse like?

Accepted Answer

Canadian Brewhouse is a local venue in Richmond — 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.

Question 6

Are there more Paint Nite events in Richmond?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 53 upcoming events in Richmond this month.

Question 7

Is Dawn of New Beginnings a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Dawn of New Beginnings is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.

Question 8

Whatever happened to Yaymaker?

Accepted Answer

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 Richmond, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 9

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Dawn of New Beginnings 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 Marissa. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Canadian Brewhouse — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 10

How long is Dawn of New Beginnings?

Accepted Answer

Canadian Brewhouse's doors open at 11:30 AM, the event starts at 1:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 12:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Marissa starts the painting.

Question 11

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

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.
