Question 1

Is August Sharks @ Whitey's Fish Camp good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. August Sharks @ Whitey's Fish Camp is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Don 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.

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. Don is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Whiteys Fish Camp, 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 Don like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Don is a real local artist based in Fleming Island — 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. Crystal G. said: 'A personalized paint your pet is a fantastic idea! I would certainly do an event like this again and paint another pet!'

Question 4

What's Whiteys Fish Camp like?

Accepted Answer

Whiteys Fish Camp is a local venue in Fleming Island — 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

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 Fleming Island, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 6

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to August Sharks @ Whitey's Fish Camp 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 Don. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Whiteys Fish Camp — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 7

How long is August Sharks @ Whitey's Fish Camp?

Accepted Answer

Whiteys Fish Camp's doors open at 11:00 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 Don starts the painting.

Question 8

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer
