Hi, I’m Wendy Anderson! With 10+ years of experience and thousands of 5-star reviews, I’m one of the top paint party hosts in the country. My mission? Turning creative anxiety into pure, mindful fun.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Magical Palm Tree Moon is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Wendy 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. Wendy is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Pitfire Pizza (Costa Mesa), 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 — Magical Palm Tree Moon is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Costa Mesa. 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.
Wendy is a real local artist based in Costa Mesa — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. Paint Nite artists complete our certification program before their first event. Across all Paint Nite events, 93% of guests say their instructor was amazing. Melissa J. said: 'Great teacher, fun for kids and kept them engaged motivated. Cute cafe good muffins.'
Pitfire Pizza (Costa Mesa) is a local venue in Costa Mesa — 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 33 upcoming events in Costa Mesa this month. You can view them here.
Magical Palm Tree Moon 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 Costa Mesa, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Magical Palm Tree Moon 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 Wendy. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Pitfire Pizza (Costa Mesa) — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Pitfire Pizza (Costa Mesa)'s doors open at 11:00 AM, the event starts at 12:15 PM. We suggest showing up by 11:45 AM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Wendy 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.
