Melanie enjoys encouraging people in their pursuit of creativity. Her training is in graphic design. She began painting outdoors in oils after moving to Saskatoon and also dabbles in watercolours. When she's not painting, she enjoys playing piano, gardening, swimming and taking care of her rabbits. Follow her on Facebook or Instagram to see upcoming events and PaintNite deals.
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Paint your own Pumpkin is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Melanie paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Melanie 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.
A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Melanie is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Hunters Bowl / Reds Bar & Grill Fairhaven, 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.
Melanie is a real local artist based in Saskatoon — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 19 out of 29 guests who've painted with Melanie say the instruction was amazing. Bill L. said: 'A relaxed and supportive atmosphere is fostered. You can try to make an exact copy of the sample or produce a unique piece of art that is your personal variation on the theme of the evening. Come...'
Hunters Bowl / Reds Bar & Grill Fairhaven is a local venue in Saskatoon — 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 54 upcoming events in Saskatoon this month. You can view them here.
Paint your own Pumpkin is a fall painting — rich autumn colors that capture the season beautifully.
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 Saskatoon, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Paint your own Pumpkin 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 Melanie. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Hunters Bowl / Reds Bar & Grill Fairhaven — 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 Melanie 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.
