Sunflower and Bumblebee

Sunflower and Bumblebee is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Team Creative paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Team Creative 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. Team Creative is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Broadway Bar and Grill Portobello, 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.

Yes — Sunflower and Bumblebee is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Ottawa. Everyone paints their own canvas, so there's always something to laugh about at the end. If you're planning a bachelorette party or a larger group, private events of 10+ get reserved seating and a custom experience.

Team Creative is a real local artist based in Ottawa — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In Ottawa, 85 out of 111 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing. . said: 'It was fun night out. Joyce is so much fun and has the knack of putting everyone at ease.'

Broadway Bar and Grill Portobello is a local venue in Ottawa — 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. 32% of guests who've attended events at Broadway Bar and Grill Portobello rated the atmosphere highly.

Sunflower and Bumblebee is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.

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

Your ticket to Sunflower and Bumblebee 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 Team Creative. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Broadway Bar and Grill Portobello — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Broadway Bar and Grill Portobello'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 Team Creative starts the painting.

You can reschedule your ticket to any other Paint Nite event up to 8 hours before this one starts. Rescheduling more than 48 hours in advance is free; within 48 hours of the start time there's a $10 fee per ticket. You can't reschedule within 8 hours of the start time, but if an emergency comes up, reach out to our customer service team and we'll do our best to help. Event tickets are not refundable, but your reschedule codes never expire, so you can redeem them whenever it suits you. If Paint Nite cancels this event, you'll receive a full automatic refund.
