Question 1

Is Halloween pumpkins and a cat good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Halloween pumpkins and a cat is one of our most approachable paintings. Absolute first-timers finish this one looking great. Ron walks you through every step, and the whole group moves together so nobody falls behind. 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 Mountain Mike's Pizza, 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

What's Ron like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Ron is a real local artist based in Rohnert Park — 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 4

What's Mountain Mike's Pizza like?

Accepted Answer

Mountain Mike's Pizza is a local venue in Rohnert Park — 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 5

Are there more Paint Nite events in Rohnert Park?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 17 upcoming events in Rohnert Park this month.

Question 6

Is Halloween pumpkins and a cat a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Halloween pumpkins and a cat is a fall painting — rich autumn colors that capture the season beautifully.

Question 7

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 Rohnert Park, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Halloween pumpkins and a cat 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 Mountain Mike's Pizza — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is Halloween pumpkins and a cat?

Accepted Answer

Mountain Mike's Pizza's doors open at 10:00 AM, the event starts at 6:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 5:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Ron starts the painting.

Question 10

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.
