Question 1

Is Sail Away With Me II good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sail Away With Me II is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Candace 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.

Question 2

How is Paint Nite different from a painting class?

Accepted Answer

A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Candace is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Grace O Malleys, 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.

Question 3

Is this a good date night in Ottawa?

Accepted Answer

Sail Away With Me II is one of our most popular date night paintings in Ottawa. You each paint your own canvas — same painting, different results — which always makes for a fun comparison at the end of the night. The mood of the painting is romantic — expect something beautiful to bring home.

Question 4

What's Candace like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Candace is a real local artist based in Ottawa — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In Ottawa, 56 out of 77 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing.

Question 5

What's Grace O Malleys like?

Accepted Answer

Grace O Malleys 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.

Question 6

Are there more Paint Nite events in Ottawa?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 108 upcoming events in Ottawa this month.

Question 7

Is Sail Away With Me II a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Sail Away With Me II is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.

Question 8

Whatever happened to Yaymaker?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Sail Away With Me II 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 Candace. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Grace O Malleys — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 10

How long is Sail Away With Me II?

Accepted Answer

Grace O Malleys'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 Candace starts the painting.

Question 11

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

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.
