Question 1

Is Grace in Blue good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Grace in Blue is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. London paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and London 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. London is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Casa Mexico, 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 good for a girls night or bachelorette party in Ottawa?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Grace in Blue is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Ottawa. 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.

Question 4

What's London like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

London is a real local artist based in Ottawa — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire.

Question 5

What's Casa Mexico like?

Accepted Answer

Casa Mexico is a local venue in Ottawa — 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

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

Question 7

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Grace in Blue 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 London. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Casa Mexico — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 8

How long is Grace in Blue?

Accepted Answer

Casa Mexico's doors open at 12:00 PM, the event starts at 6:30 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:00 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before London starts the painting.

Question 9

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.
