That painting stopped me the first time I saw it — deep blacks and purples bleeding into a sky full of stars, tree silhouettes rising up from a dark lake, the whole thing feeling like you wandered into somewhere wild and a little otherworldly. Northern Nights II has this quiet drama to it that I love teaching, because people always surprise themselves with how alive it looks once it comes together. Fox and Fiddle on Danforth is one of those rooms that just works for a night like this — warm, easygoing, good drinks, the kind of place where you settle in and forget about whatever the week threw at you. I've run over a hundred of these events, so I've got you every step of the way, no matter where you're starting from. By the end, you'll have a canvas that actually feels like standing under a real northern sky.
Welcome to the Fox and Fiddle Danforth! We work hard at creating a warm, vibrant atmosphere where good friends can always meet! The British style pub (or public house) has been around for centuries. This makes it the longest running of any eating, drinking and entertainment type establishment in the Western Hemisphere.
Spacious, casual alehouse offering draft beer & hearty pub grub, plus pool tables.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Northern Nights II is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Karina 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. Karina is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Fox and Fiddle - Danforth, 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.
Karina is a real local artist based in Toronto — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 16 out of 19 guests who've painted with Karina say the instruction was amazing. . said: 'Venue was great, instructor was friendly, helpful and very encouraging! The soft music helped with creating a calming atmosphere! I would recommend it to anyone who may be playing with the idea!'
Fox and Fiddle - Danforth is a local venue in Toronto — 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.

Fox and Fiddle - Danforth's doors open at 12:00 PM, the event starts at 5:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 4:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Karina starts the painting.
