Hello, my name is Michelle! I am an artist and all around creator! In college, I was a studio art major with an emphasis in oil painting. Since then, I have worked with almost every medium (including digital art/graphic design). I believe anyone can express themselves creatively, which is why PaintNite is so great! You may think you are coming for drinks and a good time but what you may not know is that you are an artist too! It’s a fun journey of discovery and I’m excited to be a part of it!
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Forest Splendor is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Michelle 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.
A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Michelle is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Prost Brewing Co. & Biergarten, 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.
Michelle is a real local artist based in Highlands Ranch — 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. Meg G. said: 'Great time and Michelle was an amazing teacher!'
Prost Brewing Co. & Biergarten is a local venue in Highlands Ranch — 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.
Forest Splendor is a fall painting — rich autumn colors that capture the season beautifully.
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 Highlands Ranch , you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Forest Splendor 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 Michelle. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Prost Brewing Co. & Biergarten — 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 Michelle 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.
