Question 1

Is Chasing The Tide good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Chasing The Tide is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Nicole paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Nicole 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. Nicole is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Ricky's All Day Grill - Sherwood Park, 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

What's Nicole like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Nicole is a real local artist based in Sherwood Park — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire.

Question 4

What's Ricky's All Day Grill - Sherwood Park like?

Accepted Answer

Ricky's All Day Grill - Sherwood Park is a local venue in Sherwood Park — 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 5

Is Chasing The Tide a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Chasing The Tide is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.

Question 6

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 Sherwood Park, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 7

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Chasing The Tide 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 Nicole. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Ricky's All Day Grill - Sherwood Park — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 8

How long is Chasing The Tide?

Accepted Answer

Ricky's All Day Grill - Sherwood Park's 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 Nicole starts the painting.

Question 9

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.
