Sunflowers are cheerful on their own, but something about adding a little bumblebee to the canvas makes the whole thing feel alive — like you caught a quiet moment in a garden right before it moves on. That's what we're painting Thursday night, and I think you're going to love it. What makes this one extra special is where we're doing it: the Amberwood Lounge and Eatery is one of those spaces that just sets a mood the second you walk in — beautiful interior, great food and drinks, the kind of place that makes a regular weeknight feel like an occasion. I've got you every step of the way, no experience needed, and I can't wait to see how your version comes to life in a room like that.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Sunflower and Bumblebee 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 ALE - Amberwood Lounge & Eatery, 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 — Sunflower and Bumblebee 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. 69 out of 81 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.'
ALE - Amberwood Lounge & Eatery 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. 71% of guests who've attended events at ALE - Amberwood Lounge & Eatery rated the atmosphere highly.
Yes — we have 174 upcoming events in Ottawa this month. You can view them here.
Sunflower and Bumblebee 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 Ottawa, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Sunflower and Bumblebee 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 ALE - Amberwood Lounge & Eatery — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
ALE - Amberwood Lounge & Eatery'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 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.
