The painting itself is what got me — a warm sunset bleeding orange and red across a snowy valley, mountains in the distance, trees catching that last light before it's gone. It's the kind of image that looks complicated until we actually start laying it down together, and then it clicks. I'll meet you where you are, whether you've never touched a brush or just haven't in a while. We'll be at KCR Bar & Grill in Pickering, drinks in hand, and I'll take you through each layer so the whole thing builds naturally. After 737 events, I still love watching this part happen.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Magic of the Cherry Blossom is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Karina paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Karina 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. Karina is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at KCR Bar & Grill, 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.
Karina is a real local artist based in Pickering — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 19 out of 22 guests who've painted with Karina say the instruction was amazing. Li H. said: 'It was FUN! and Karina is Great :)'
KCR Bar & Grill is a local venue in Pickering — 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 20 upcoming events in Pickering this month. You can view them here.
Magic of the Cherry Blossom 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 Pickering, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Magic of the Cherry Blossom 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 Karina . Drinks and food are ordered separately from KCR Bar & Grill — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
KCR Bar & Grill'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 Karina 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.
