Wind Swept Dusk

Yes. Wind Swept Dusk is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Lia 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. Lia is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Pacific Catch LA, 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.

Lia is a real local artist based in Santa Monica — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 10 out of 12 guests who've painted with Lia say the instruction was amazing. Sonya Z. said: 'Instructor was cheerful and helpful. Entertaining. Great for all ages!'

Pacific Catch LA is a local venue in Santa Monica — 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 10 upcoming events in Santa Monica this month. You can view them here.

Wind Swept Dusk 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 Santa Monica, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Your ticket to Wind Swept Dusk 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 Lia. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Pacific Catch LA — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Pacific Catch LA's doors open at 11:00 AM, the event starts at 1:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 12:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Lia 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.
