Question 1

Is Love Birds Playing Over The Forest good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Love Birds Playing Over The Forest is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Create! paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Create! 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. Create! is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at 5ive Cities Brewing, 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 Create! like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Create! is a real local artist based in Bettendorf — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In Bettendorf, 12 out of 12 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing. Jennifer H. said: 'The host was great and the artist is always fantastic! She is a great instructor and has great ideas for art.'

Question 4

What's 5ive Cities Brewing like?

Accepted Answer

5ive Cities Brewing is a local venue in Bettendorf — 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 Bettendorf?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 11 upcoming events in Bettendorf this month.

Question 6

Is Love Birds Playing Over The Forest a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Love Birds Playing Over The Forest is a spring painting — a fresh seasonal pick that captures the energy of the season.

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 Bettendorf, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Love Birds Playing Over The Forest 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 Create!. Drinks and food are ordered separately from 5ive Cities Brewing — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is Love Birds Playing Over The Forest?

Accepted Answer

5ive Cities Brewing's doors open at 3:00 PM, the event starts at 6:30 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:00 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Create! 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.
