Spend an evening painting “Teal Bonsai Among the Misty Pines” at the 300 Club Lounge in Modesto. It’s relaxed, beginner-friendly, and designed so you can actually enjoy yourself instead of stressing about getting it “right.” We’ll be working with deep blues, smoky blacks, soft whites, and a few sharp hits of yellow. The finished piece has that quiet autumn feel, moody but calm. You’ll paint on a 16"x20" canvas, and everything you need is already there waiting for you. The session runs about two hours. I guide step by step, but you’re free to tweak colors or make it your own. Some people follow closely. Others go rogue. Both approaches work. The venue ( 300 Club Lounge at Yosemite Lanes) has an easygoing vibe that fits the night. Bring friends, come on a date, or show up solo and zone out with a brush and a drink. Kids are welcome too. If you’re planning something bigger, private events are available for groups of ten or more. Bringing three friends? You’ll get 15% off your tickets. And if plans change, you can cancel up to 24 hours before. That’s it. Two hours, a canvas, and something you’ll actually want to hang when you get home.
Since 1961, Yosemite Lanes has been an iconic venue for the great citizens of the Central Valley. We’ve all shared so many great memories at Yosemite Lanes. Whether that be from rolling strikes, devouring food, enjoying car shows, or any other of the amazing activities held here. We’re so excited to create more great memories with you all!

Meet Ilya, the creative genius behind Patterson's paint and sip events! A graduate of San Francisco's Academy of Art and represented by Ryan Graff Contemporary Gallery, Ilya infuses each event with his unique artistic vision. Join him for an unforgettable night of artistic expression and experience the thrill of creativity like never before!
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Teal Bonsai Among the Misty Pines is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Ilya paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Ilya 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. Ilya is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at 300 Club Lounge (Yosemite Lanes), 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.
Ilya is a real local artist based in MODESTO — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. Paint Nite artists complete our certification program before their first event. Across all Paint Nite events, 93% of guests say their instructor was amazing. Natalie P. said: 'I had 3 friends buy tickets and I never got a refund for my ticket. Never even got a response from the paintnite people when I asked about it. Paint night was fun but that was a little upsetting.'
300 Club Lounge (Yosemite Lanes) is a local venue in MODESTO — 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 6 upcoming events in MODESTO 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 MODESTO, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Teal Bonsai Among the Misty Pines 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 Ilya. Drinks and food are ordered separately from 300 Club Lounge (Yosemite Lanes) — 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 Ilya 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.
