Sweet Summer

Yes — Sweet Summer is one of our most approachable paintings. Absolute first-timers finish this one looking great. Martina walks you through every step, and the whole group moves together so nobody falls behind. 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. Martina is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Barleycorn's Florence, 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.

Martina is a real local artist based in Florence — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 10 out of 11 guests who've painted with Martina say the instruction was amazing. Mary Hope J. said: 'Martina made me feel welcomed from the minute I walked in. She was very friendly and engaging with all of the guest. She explained the process very well. She gave encouraging words if you were...'

Barleycorn's Florence is a local venue in Florence — 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 10 upcoming events in Florence this month. You can view them here.

Sweet Summer is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.

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

Your ticket to Sweet Summer 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 Martina. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Barleycorn's Florence — 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 Martina 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.
