Grab someone you actually want to spend a Thursday night with, because this one is a two-canvas painting — you and your partner each work on your own piece, and together they form one bigger scene. That's what Starry Lake is: a night sky full of stars reflected across still water, framed by trees, built across two paintings that only make complete sense side by side. Janna has been running these nights since 2018 and has 737 events behind her, so she'll meet you exactly where you are — no prior experience, no stress. The bar is right there, the mood is easy, and by the end of the night you're both holding something that fits together.

Janna has been happily hosting Paint Nite since 2018. As a Master Artist, she has garnered a dedicated following with her passion, technique, and delightful sense of humour. She is constantly experimenting with new mediums and her clothes and hands always tell a colourful, messy story. When Janna puts down her paintbrush she can be found baking custom cakes and treats that further showcase her creative talent, and taste delicious too! Come have a drink with her and paint your own masterpiece!
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Starry Lake Partner Painting 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 KCR Bar & 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.
Starry Lake Partner Painting is one of our most popular date night paintings in Pickering. You each paint your own canvas — same painting, different results — which always makes for a fun comparison at the end of the night.
Janna is a real local artist based in Pickering — 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.'
KCR Bar & Grill is a local venue in Pickering — 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 23 upcoming events in Pickering 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 Pickering, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Starry Lake Partner Painting 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 KCR Bar & Grill — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
KCR Bar & 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.
