Painting called "Cold and Happy" at a Texas grill with margaritas — I love this combination more than I expected to. We're at Lone Star in the Byward Market, right in the middle of downtown Ottawa, and the energy there already does half the work before anyone picks up a brush. The painting itself is what's really got me excited: clouds, deep blues and blacks, that pop of red — it ends up feeling bold and a little moody and somehow joyful all at once, which is exactly what the title promises. I'll meet you where you are skill-wise, so don't let that stop you from coming. By the end of the night you'll have something that actually looks like it means something.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes — Cold and Happy is one of our most approachable paintings. Absolute first-timers finish this one looking great. Stephanie 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. Stephanie is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Lone Star Texas Grill - Byward, 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 — Cold and Happy is one of our family-friendly paintings. All ages are welcome at this event. We recommend ages 5 and up for independent painting, though younger kids can share a canvas with an adult.
Stephanie is a real local artist based in Ottawa — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In Ottawa, 85 out of 111 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing. . said: 'It was an amazing experience. Stephanie made sure to help us navigate throughout the evening. She made sure that we had a fantastic time and a great experience. It was my first time and definitely...'
Lone Star Texas Grill - Byward 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 159 upcoming events in Ottawa this month. You can view them here.
Cold and Happy 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 Cold and Happy 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 Stephanie. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Lone Star Texas Grill - Byward — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Lone Star Texas Grill - Byward's doors open at 11:30 AM, the 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 Stephanie starts the painting.
You can reschedule your ticket to any other Paint Nite event up to 8 hours before this one starts. Rescheduling more than 48 hours in advance is free; within 48 hours of the start time there's a $10 fee per ticket. You can't reschedule within 8 hours of the start time, but if an emergency comes up, reach out to our customer service team and we'll do our best to help. Event tickets are not refundable, but your reschedule codes never expire, so you can redeem them whenever it suits you. If Paint Nite cancels this event, you'll receive a full automatic refund.
