Question 1

Is Sip Happens, Just Koi With It good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Sip Happens, Just Koi With It is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Super paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Super 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. Super is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Parktown Pizza Willow Glen, 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 Super like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Super is a real local artist based in San Jose — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 10 out of 14 guests who've painted with Super say the instruction was amazing. Marlene M. said: 'It is really a lot of fun, the host Gabriel is entertaining and very helpful. Also, talking with others is part of the social fun as well. Everyone's paintings are unique to the individual and turn...'

Question 4

What's Parktown Pizza Willow Glen like?

Accepted Answer

Parktown Pizza Willow Glen is a local venue in San Jose — 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 San Jose?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 26 upcoming events in San Jose this month.

Question 6

Is Sip Happens, Just Koi With It a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Sip Happens, Just Koi With It is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.

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 San Jose, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Sip Happens, Just Koi With It 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 Super. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Parktown Pizza Willow Glen — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is Sip Happens, Just Koi With It?

Accepted Answer

Parktown Pizza Willow Glen's doors open at 10:00 AM, the event starts at 6:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 5:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Super starts the painting.
