Question 1

Is Leaves in the Wind good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Leaves in the Wind is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Hadieh paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Hadieh 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. Hadieh is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Siam, 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 Hadieh like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Hadieh is a real local artist based in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 8 out of 19 guests who've painted with Hadieh say the instruction was amazing. Karon H. said: 'Very fun activity! The materials and instructions were all great and simple. A nice way to paint with some support from an instructor'

Question 4

What's Siam like?

Accepted Answer

Siam is a local venue in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu — 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 Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 26 upcoming events in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu this month.

Question 6

Is Leaves in the Wind a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Leaves in the Wind is a fall painting — rich autumn colors that capture the season beautifully.

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 Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Leaves in the Wind 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 Hadieh. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Siam — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is Leaves in the Wind?

Accepted Answer

Siam's doors open at 11:30 AM, 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 Hadieh starts the painting.

Question 10

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.
