Question 1

Is October Raven good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes — October Raven is one of our most approachable paintings. Absolute first-timers finish this one looking great. Beth walks you through every step, and the whole group moves together so nobody falls behind. 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. Beth is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Phat Chad's Tavern, 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 Beth like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Beth is a real local artist based in Citrus Heights — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 15 out of 15 guests who've painted with Beth say the instruction was amazing. Lisa V. said: 'First timer with paint and sip. Had such a great time. Beth made the experience so light and fun. Will surely booked another one in the future.'

Question 4

What's Phat Chad's Tavern like?

Accepted Answer

Phat Chad's Tavern is a local venue in Citrus Heights — 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 Citrus Heights?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 5 upcoming events in Citrus Heights this month.

Question 6

Is October Raven a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

October Raven 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 Citrus Heights, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to October Raven 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 Beth. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Phat Chad's Tavern — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is October Raven?

Accepted Answer

Phat Chad's Tavern's doors open at 11:00 AM, the event starts at 12:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 11:30 AM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Beth 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.
