Question 1

Is Ocean Villa II good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ocean Villa II is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Lia 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.

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. Lia is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Pacific Catch LA, 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 a good date night in Santa Monica?

Accepted Answer

Ocean Villa II is one of our most popular date night paintings in Santa Monica. You each paint your own canvas — same painting, different results — which always makes for a fun comparison at the end of the night. The painting has a calm, intimate quality — good for a relaxed evening.

Question 4

What's Lia like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Lia is a real local artist based in Santa Monica — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 10 out of 12 guests who've painted with Lia say the instruction was amazing. Sonya Z. said: 'Instructor was cheerful and helpful. Entertaining. Great for all ages!'

Question 5

What's Pacific Catch LA like?

Accepted Answer

Pacific Catch LA is a local venue in Santa Monica — 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 Santa Monica?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 10 upcoming events in Santa Monica this month.

Question 7

Is Ocean Villa II a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Ocean Villa II is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.

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 Santa Monica, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 9

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Ocean Villa II 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 Lia. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Pacific Catch LA — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 10

How long is Ocean Villa II?

Accepted Answer

Pacific Catch LA's doors open at 11:00 AM, the event starts at 1:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 12:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Lia 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.
