Something about painting a wide-eyed owl perched under a winter sky has a way of pulling you out of your head — and that's exactly the kind of Wednesday night this is. I'm Joyce, and I've been running these events long enough to know that the people who swear they "can't paint" are usually the ones who surprise themselves most. We'll build it up together, layer by layer, until you've got deep blues and purples bleeding into a night sky, bare branches reaching up around your owl, and little stars scattered across the whole thing. Casa Mexico sets the mood nicely — good food, good drinks, and a room full of people who showed up to have a good time, not to be precious about it. By the end of the two hours, you'll have an actual painting to bring home, and it'll look better than you think it will right now.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Winter Magic Owl is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Joyce (Of Art!!) paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Joyce (Of Art!!) 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. Joyce (Of Art!!) is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Casa Mexico, 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 — Winter Magic Owl is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Ottawa. 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.
Joyce (Of Art!!) is a real local artist based in Ottawa — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 91 out of 105 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 Mexico 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. 35% of guests who've attended events at Casa Mexico rated the atmosphere highly.
Yes — we have 165 upcoming events in Ottawa 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 Ottawa, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Winter Magic Owl 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 Mexico — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Casa Mexico's doors open at 12:00 PM, 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 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 $20 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.
