Question 1

Is It’s a Van Gogh World, Kitty good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

It’s a Van Gogh World, Kitty is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Ron paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Ron 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.

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. Ron is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at RD Winery, 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 good for a girls night or bachelorette party in NAPA?

Accepted Answer

Yes — It’s a Van Gogh World, Kitty is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in NAPA. 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.

Question 4

What's Ron like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Ron is a real local artist based in NAPA — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 8 out of 11 guests who've painted with Ron say the instruction was amazing. Becky L. said: 'That you paint a large painting and not only did I learn a lot but I had fun doing it!!'

Question 5

What's RD Winery like?

Accepted Answer

RD Winery is a local venue in NAPA — 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 NAPA?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 26 upcoming events in NAPA this month.

Question 7

Is It’s a Van Gogh World, Kitty a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

It’s a Van Gogh World, Kitty 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 NAPA, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 9

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to It’s a Van Gogh World, Kitty 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 Ron. Drinks and food are ordered separately from RD Winery — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 10

How long is It’s a Van Gogh World, Kitty?

Accepted Answer

RD Winery's doors open at 10:00 AM, the event starts at 4:30 PM. We suggest showing up by 4:00 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Ron 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.
