Crimson Rain

Crimson Rain is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Brandon paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Brandon 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. Brandon is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at La Pinata Pittsburg, 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.

Brandon is a real local artist based in Pittsburg — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 5 out of 7 guests who've painted with Brandon say the instruction was amazing. Marianne A. said: 'Bindu's Paint Nites are always fun and entertaining! He breaks each painting down into smaller components until the painting is finished. He's a blast...and his playlist is amazing and eclectic. I've...'

La Pinata Pittsburg is a local venue in Pittsburg — 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 4 upcoming events in Pittsburg this month. You can view them here.

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

Your ticket to Crimson Rain 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 Brandon. Drinks and food are ordered separately from La Pinata Pittsburg — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

La Pinata Pittsburg'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 Brandon 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 $20 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.
