Picture a forest that doesn't quite exist — dark branches reaching through a sky that shifts from black to deep purple, a glowing river cutting through the rocks below, the whole scene sitting somewhere between a dream and a landscape you half-remember. That's what we're painting Thursday night at Thornton Arms, and I think it's one of the most satisfying ones I've led. The colours build up gradually and even if you've never picked up a brush before, I'll meet you where you are and we'll get there together. Thornton Arms has 15 beers on tap and a full food menu, so settle in, order something you like, and let the night do its thing.
Thornton Arms Pub opened in 2003 and is a local neighborhood bar. We have a selection of 15 imported and domestic draught beers and cider on tap. We also have a selection of imported and domestic wines. Our food menu has a large selection of appetizers, sandwiches, pastas. chicken and steak for you to choose from.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Esoteric Forest is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Melodie 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. Melodie is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Thornton Arms Pub & Grill, 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.
Yes — Esoteric Forest is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Oshawa. 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.
Melodie is a real local artist based in Oshawa — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In Oshawa, 12 out of 16 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing.
Thornton Arms Pub & Grill is a local venue in Oshawa — 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 29 upcoming events in Oshawa 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 Oshawa, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Esoteric Forest 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 Melodie. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Thornton Arms Pub & Grill — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Thornton Arms Pub & Grill's event starts at 7:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Melodie 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.
