History

Established in 2010.

When Painting with a Twist — Garland opened in July 2010, we were the 5th PwaTwist studio in the DFW metro area and the 18th one in the country. We were so proud to have 500 pieces of copyrighted artwork available in our gallery at that time. Just 4.5 years later, that gallery of available artwork has grown to over 4,000 copyrighted paintings! These paintings are available to paint in regular classes on our calendar each month, or private parties may choose any of these paintings that they prefer to paint at their private event.

Meet the Manager

Jennifer M.

Manager

Jennifer is the studio manager, with over 20 years managerial experience in the rental car, restaurant, & retail industries. She runs the studio for her sister, Terri, who purchased the franchise after she fell in love with the concept while attending a class in South Louisiana. Jennifer sets the tone for the studio, making sure everyone feels at home, whether you show up in painting clothes, party clothes, or pajamas! She invites everyone to «stand up, sit down, laugh, sing, dance, do cartwheels in the open areas, or karaōke on the stage w/​your paintbrush as a microphone,» whatever you want to do while you are there, as long as it’s not illegal, and as long as everyone’s having fun! I’ve heard her say, on several occasions, that she definitely has the best «job» in the world! I may have to agree with her on that…

First time at this location and I loved it! We had my friends birthday event here and it was so much fun. We had our own private room, we were able to bring cocktails & listen to our own music.
I didn’t have high hopes on how my artwork would come out because I’m so bad with drawing/​painting (anything of that sort), but our instructor was awesome and she was patient with everyone and helped anyone who wanted to «perfect» their painting. I would def. book another event with this location.
I wish I remembered the instructor’s name :(

Love Painting with a twist!

These ladies are simply fabulous. My entire family spent New Year’s Eve painting with a bit of wine (adults of course). The kids had a blast in one room while we hung with the adults in the other.
I’m no painter but the instructor gave great direction and she was super patient. Picked up a frequent painter card because we will be back for sure.

Straight lines aren’t my friend. Don’t ask me to draw one, walk one or, god forbid, paint one. So while I was excited about my girls afternoon out at a painting place, I didn’t hold any high hopes for whatever I produced. I was pleasantly surprised, however, and my «masterpiece» now hangs in the wall of our guest room.
The painting space was surprisingly large and the staff were amazing. We had a private party, (available for groups of 10 or more.) Everything was well organized, with the paints laid out and waiting for us. We brought wine and chocolate and they supplied cups and ice.
The part that surprised me the most was the class itself. I was expecting something that was pretty much paint by number. When I saw a completely blank canvas I was a bit scared. Our instructor took us through it step by step, not just telling us what to paint, but giving us tips on technique. She’s an amazing artist away from work — we asked and were shown photos of the unbelievable artwork she’d done herself.
I’d also heard stories from a friend who’d gone to a different place and dared to be different and was met with disdain from the instructor when she quite literally painted outside the lines. That couldn’t be further from what happened here. There were 11 of us total and we had 11 very different paintings, despite all using the same colors and going off the same model/​instructor. The employees there were very excited to see how we each put our spin and actively encouraged us to «branch out.» (Our painting was of a tree… see what I did there!!!)
I will never support myself via my art, but I learned that I enjoyed the calm that comes from painting. I’d return here in a heartbeat. Our group is already planning our return with the guys… when they saw our paintings and heard our stories they got jealous and now they want their turn!

The location is pretty much brand new and is facing Crist Rd., not too far from the old location. My instructors for the day were very nice and helpful! I love coming here to spend time with old friends or even seeing others coming in by themselves to get some peace and quiet. I recommend this location for anyone in the surrounding area (i’ve others drive from a far to come to this place too) — also they had mentioned that they allow customers to come back in on Saturdays to fix up their paintings they feel like they need improvement on. Call in for more details!

Painting with a Twist is awesome! The Garland location is sooo friendly! The manager Jennifer is always around, upbeat with a smile on! All of the artists are incredibly talented. I have done 6 of these, they are so fun and addicting! I highly recommend this for a girls night out, date night, or just an extra hobby!

My wife took me here for a Father’s Day Surprise Date and we both had a blast. Very fun environment and they walk you through the painting process. with their help anyone can come out with a master piece!
great Idea for Couple’s Date Night, group event or someone wanting to become a part of a group. Everyone is a part of the large group/​class, no one feels «left out» the staff does a great job.
