Question 1

Is Paint Nite: Into the Night II good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paint Nite: Into the Night II is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Erik 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. Erik is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at 10 DEAN - Waverley, 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 Erik like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Erik is a real local artist based in Toronto — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 18 out of 18 guests who've painted with Erik say the instruction was amazing. shane D. said: 'It was amazing with excellent step by step instructions from Erik made the challenge a breeze and gave a peace of mind. Very impressive work'

Question 4

What's 10 DEAN - Waverley like?

Accepted Answer

10 DEAN - Waverley is a local venue in Toronto — 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

Are there more Paint Nite events in Toronto?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 161 upcoming events in Toronto this month.

Question 6

Whatever happened to Yaymaker?

Drinks and food are ordered separately from 10 DEAN - Waverley — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 8
