Sand, warm colors, and hearts — honestly, this one caught my attention the moment I picked it for February. Hearts in the Sand is beachy and soft and a little romantic without being over the top, and the mix of black, orange, pink, purple, and yellow gives it this warm glow that just works on canvas. Thornton Arms is a great spot to sink into for a few hours — cold draught on tap, good food, neighborhood bar energy — and I'll have us painting together the whole time, so it doesn't matter if you've never touched a brush before. I'll meet you where you are. Janna's been doing this since 2018 and her classes move fast in the best way — you'll be surprised what you walk out holding.
Thornton Arms Pub opened in 2003 and is a local neighborhood bar. We have a selection of 15 imported and domestic draught beers and cider on tap. We also have a selection of imported and domestic wines. Our food menu has a large selection of appetizers, sandwiches, pastas. chicken and steak for you to choose from.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Hearts in the Sand is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Janna 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. Janna is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Thornton Arms Pub & Grill, 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.
Hearts in the Sand is one of our most popular date night paintings in Oshawa. 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.
Janna is a real local artist based in Oshawa — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 9 out of 10 guests who've painted with Janna say the instruction was amazing. Nithya A. said: 'This is such a great social and artistic experience. Janna is amazing and I learned a lot while meeting some fun people.'
Thornton Arms Pub & Grill is a local venue in Oshawa — 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 33 upcoming events in Oshawa this month. You can view them here.
Hearts in the Sand 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 Oshawa, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Hearts in the Sand 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 Janna. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Thornton Arms Pub & Grill — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Thornton Arms Pub & Grill'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 Janna 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.
