Question 1

Is Summer by The Sea good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Summer by The Sea is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Christina paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Christina 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. Christina is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Mt. Baldy Brewing, 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 Upland?

Accepted Answer

Summer by The Sea is one of our most popular date night paintings in Upland. You each paint your own canvas — same painting, different results — which always makes for a fun comparison at the end of the night. The mood of the painting is romantic — expect something beautiful to bring home.

Question 4

What's Christina like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Christina is a real local artist based in Upland — 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. Betty P. said: 'Great energy and encouragement! Thanks for the good time!'

Question 5

What's Mt. Baldy Brewing like?

Accepted Answer

Mt. Baldy Brewing is a local venue in Upland — 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 Upland?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 18 upcoming events in Upland this month.

Question 7

Is Summer by The Sea a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Summer by The Sea 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 Upland, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 9

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Summer by The Sea 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 Christina. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Mt. Baldy Brewing — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 10

How long is Summer by The Sea?

Accepted Answer

Mt. Baldy Brewing's doors open at 2:00 PM, the event starts at 6:30 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:00 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Christina 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.
