Sun and Moon

Sun and Moon is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Diana paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Diana 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.

A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Diana is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Marquart's Landing, 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.

Diana is a real local artist based in Washington — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 44 out of 46 guests who've painted with Diana say the instruction was amazing. Trishka S. said: 'If you're looking for a total mental reset, this is it! As someone who spends all day in Excel, swapping formulas for a paintbrush was exactly what my group and I needed. It was low-pressure, tons of...'

Marquart's Landing is a local venue in Washington — 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. 100% of guests who've attended events at Marquart's Landing rated the atmosphere highly.

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

Your ticket to Sun and Moon 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 Diana. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Marquart's Landing — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Marquart's Landing's 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 Diana 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.
