Question 1

Is Did Somebunny Say Christmas? good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Did Somebunny Say Christmas? is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Ashley paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Ashley 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.

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. Ashley is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Kelseys Orillia, 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

What's Ashley like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Ashley is a real local artist based in Orillia — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 28 out of 32 guests who've painted with Ashley say the instruction was amazing. Jessica C. said: 'The blankets are really fun to make, and once you get into the groove they come together quickly!'

Question 4

What's Kelseys Orillia like?

Accepted Answer

Kelseys Orillia is a local venue in Orillia — 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 5

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 10 upcoming events in Orillia this month.

Question 6

Is Did Somebunny Say Christmas? a seasonal painting?

Question 7

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

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Did Somebunny Say Christmas? 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 Ashley. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Kelseys Orillia — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is Did Somebunny Say Christmas??

Accepted Answer

Kelseys Orillia's doors open at 11:00 AM, the event starts at 7:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Ashley starts the painting.
