In this guided workshop, guests will explore abstract portrait painting using layered brushwork, loose facial features, and minimalist composition. Participants will learn how to:

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Abstract Self-Portrait in Neutrals is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. ArtLab paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and ArtLab 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.
A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. ArtLab is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at ArtLabMTL Studio & Café, 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.
Yes — Abstract Self-Portrait in Neutrals is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Pierrefonds - Roxboro. 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.
ArtLab is a real local artist based in Pierrefonds - Roxboro — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 8 out of 9 guests who've painted with ArtLab say the instruction was amazing. Heather B. said: 'The teacher was amazing. Great atmosphere. Beautiful project. I learned some new techniques!'
ArtLabMTL Studio & Café is a local venue in Pierrefonds - Roxboro — 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 6 upcoming events in Pierrefonds - Roxboro this month. You can view them here.
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 Pierrefonds - Roxboro, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Abstract Self-Portrait in Neutrals 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 ArtLab. Drinks and food are ordered separately from ArtLabMTL Studio & Café — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
ArtLabMTL Studio & Café's event starts at 7:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before ArtLab 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.
