We will paint outdoors on the terrace, weather permitting. Join ArtLabMTL for a creative and colorful Paint Nite event. Sip on delicious drinks and indulge in delectable treats while our talented artists guide you step-by-step in creating your very own masterpiece. No experience necessary, just bring your imagination and get ready to unleash your inner artist. IMPORTANT: 1. This class is geared towards beginners to intermediate artists; 2. We will use 12in x 16in canvas panels, not stretched canvas. Canvas panels provide superior surface for painting and allow for better line control, especially for new artists. 3. All food and drinks are available at extra cost.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Peaceful Pine Lake is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — ArtLab 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.
A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. ArtLab is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Brasserie des Rapides, 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.
Peaceful Pine Lake is one of our most popular date night paintings in Lasalle. 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.
ArtLab is a real local artist based in Lasalle — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. Paint Nite artists complete our certification program before their first event. Across all Paint Nite events, 93% of guests say their instructor was amazing. Heather B. said: 'The teacher was amazing. Great atmosphere. Beautiful project. I learned some new techniques!'
Brasserie des Rapides is a local venue in Lasalle — 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 3 upcoming events in Lasalle 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 Lasalle, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Peaceful Pine Lake 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 ArtLab. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Brasserie des Rapides — 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 ArtLab 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.
