Where American comfort meets French flair! Mimi's was first opened in 1978 by an American Airman who wanted to bring a little bit of Paris to America. Now Mimi's Cafe is bringing French cuisine to many locations across the US. Don’t forget to try Mimi’s famous croissants or their all-day breakfast. Be sure to pair one of their classic French dishes, like baked Brie or Steak Frites with a glass of wine or a mimosa. If French cuisine isn’t your thing, you can find comfort in American classics like Chicken Pot Pie. Delicious house wine is $5 a glass! In just about two hours, while you’re sipping on a glass of wine, beer, or cocktail, our artist will guide you through a painting step-by-step. At the end of the night, take home your own unique masterpiece--you will be amazed by what you can do! Please note: there is not food and drink included in your ticket price and events are 21+ and are NOT BYOB. Seating is first come, first served. Please try to arrive 30 minutes before the event to get a good seat and place a food or drink order with your server before the event begins.

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. Through my signature beginner method, anyone can paint—no talent required! I host public OC paint nights, On Demand recorded events, private parties, corporate events, and I teach step-by-step paint alongs on YouTube.
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Wind Swept Dawn 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 Mimi's Cafe (Tustin), 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.
Wendy is a real local artist based in Tustin — 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.'
Mimi's Cafe (Tustin) is a local venue in Tustin — 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 31 upcoming events in Tustin this month. You can view them here.
Wind Swept Dawn is a spring painting — a fresh seasonal pick that captures the energy of the season.
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 Tustin, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Wind Swept Dawn 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 Mimi's Cafe (Tustin) — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Mimi's Cafe (Tustin)'s event starts at 7:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:30 PM 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.
