Question 1

Is Cat in Tokyo good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Cat in Tokyo is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Tina paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Tina 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. Tina is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Mountain Mike's Pizza, 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

Is this good for a girls night or bachelorette party in Napa?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Cat in Tokyo is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Napa. 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.

Question 4

What's Tina like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Tina is a real local artist based in Napa — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In Napa, 5 out of 7 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing. Toni G. said: 'This is my third paint nite with Tina as the instructor and they are always an absolute blast! She is extremely talented and fun to boot. Tina is helpful and encouraging. I look forward to may more...'

Question 5

What's Mountain Mike's Pizza like?

Accepted Answer

Mountain Mike's Pizza is a local venue in Napa — 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 6

Are there more Paint Nite events in Napa?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 25 upcoming events in Napa this month.

Question 7

Is Cat in Tokyo a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Cat in Tokyo is a spring painting — a fresh seasonal pick that captures the energy of the season.

Question 8

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 Napa, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 9

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Cat in Tokyo 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 Tina. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Mountain Mike's Pizza — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 10

How long is Cat in Tokyo?

Accepted Answer

Mountain Mike's Pizza's doors open at 10:00 AM, the event starts at 6:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 5:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Tina starts the painting.

Question 11

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.
