Ottawa in December gets dark early, and somehow that makes a painting like this feel exactly right. Bright Northern Night is all sky and stillness — stars, trees, deep blues and greens bleeding into their own reflection on a lake — and I love teaching it because it builds so quietly and then suddenly everything clicks. You don't need to have touched a brush before; I'll meet you where you are, and we'll bring this one to life together. Casa Bonita is a genuinely lovely spot to spend an evening — mochi donuts, specialty coffee, a warm room — and I promise the two hours go fast.
Casa Bonita Coffee & Bakery was the first cafe to introduce mochi donuts to Ottawa. Tucked into Fisher Heights Plaza on Baseline Road, the gorgeous space blends Asian and Western cafe traditions with a focus on freshly made mochi donuts, croffles, and specialty coffees. The interior leans into a pink floral aesthetic and a stack of board games is available, making it a relaxed spot to linger over coffee and dessert rather than a quick grab-and-go counter. With a menu built around flavours that are hard to find elsewhere in Ottawa, Casa Bonita has deservedly carved out a niche as a destination for mochi donut fans and anyone curious about Asian-Western fusion desserts.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Bright Northern Night is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Joyce (Of Art!!) 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. Joyce (Of Art!!) is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Casa Bonita, 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.
Joyce (Of Art!!) is a real local artist based in Ottawa — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 75 out of 88 guests who've painted with Joyce (Of Art!!) say the instruction was amazing. GAIL C. said: 'Joyce's events are always lively and fun. I always learn something new from her teaching.'
Casa Bonita is a local venue in Ottawa — 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 219 upcoming events in Ottawa this month. You can view them here.
Bright Northern Night is a winter painting — cozy seasonal vibes for a great night out.
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 Ottawa, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Bright Northern Night 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 Joyce (Of Art!!). Drinks and food are ordered separately from Casa Bonita — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Casa Bonita's doors open at 9:00 AM, the 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 Joyce (Of Art!!) 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.
