Question 1

Is Northern Lights in Winter good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

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

Accepted Answer

Arlene is a real local artist based in Los Angeles  — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 6 out of 18 guests who've painted with Arlene say the instruction was amazing. Julianna B. said: 'Awesome event! The teacher is so incredible and the event was fun, educational, entertaining and inspiring!! Highly recommended!!!'

Question 4

What's TalkTales Entertainment like?

Accepted Answer

TalkTales Entertainment is a local venue in Los Angeles  — 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 Los Angeles ?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 64 upcoming events in Los Angeles  this month.

Question 6

Is Northern Lights in Winter a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Northern Lights in Winter is a winter painting — cozy seasonal vibes for a great night out.

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 Los Angeles , you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Northern Lights in Winter 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 Arlene. Drinks and food are ordered separately from TalkTales Entertainment — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is Northern Lights in Winter?

Accepted Answer

TalkTales Entertainment's event starts at 8:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 7:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Arlene 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.
