I grew up painting plein air watercolors with my Dad and sister Sue. My father was an art director at Chicago advertising firms and my sister and I are graphic artists. My father could draw anything and hand letter any font. Sue and I use Apple computers to draw images. Eliot O'Hara, Frank Webb and Carolyn Lord are a few of my favorite watercolorists. I am getting up to speed with these acrylics working for Paint Nite and am enjoying the challenge.
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Shimmering Forest is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Ashley 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. Ashley is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Seamus Wines, 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.
Ashley is a real local artist based in Kenwood — 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.
Seamus Wines is a local venue in Kenwood — 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 30 upcoming events in Kenwood this month. You can view them here.
Shimmering Forest is a fall painting — rich autumn colors that capture the season beautifully.
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 Kenwood, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Shimmering Forest 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 Ashley. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Seamus Wines — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
This event runs approximately 2 hours. Doors open at 2:30 PM — we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to get settled and order your first drink before Ashley 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.
This event has reached our minimum attendance threshold and is guaranteed to run. If we ever have to cancel a guaranteed event, every ticket holder receives a full automatic refund plus a free ticket to a future Paint Nite — no questions asked. The only exception is weather or force majeure, where full refunds are issued but free tickets are not.
