Painting with a Twist

What a wonderful experience! ! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute !! The instructor was easy to follow and entertaining. The wine is affordable and abundant. Easy laid back feel. No pressure to be the next Van Gogh or Monet. Just drink some wine paint and enjoy yourself! !

One of our favorite spots for a girls night. We went here the first time to celebrate my birthday and keep going back. So far we have done 6 paintings and can’t wait for the next one.
Paintings cost between $ 35 – 45 for 2 – 3 hours of painting. They even play fun games and always try to lighten the mood and make it as fun as possible. No previous painting experience is required and although paintings may look different then the original, everyone’s always turn out looking fine.

I just love Painting with a Twist, Universal @Conroy and Windermere! This is about my 5^th time here and As always the whole staff/​artist are amazing! Erin was my instructor tonight as she has been a few times in the past and again as always is so cool and really knows how to teach a class and make you feel at ease… This is perfect to do something fun, different and cool. Soon I’m going to have to build a room just for my art! Have fun and remember to just keep going it turns out amazing in the end!

If you’re looking for a girls night out or even just a time to bring out your inner creativity and not sure where to begin then this is the place for you!
The teachers are always awesome and make everyone feel breezy. I have so much fun every time I go.
***BONUS*** There is a wine and beer bar! :)

Fun fun fun! Went on a couples class «wet kiss». Bring your guy! It was mixed young and old and all walks of life. He won’t feel uncomfortable. My guy kept smiling.

Had an amazing!
Fun girls night cheap wine awesome time :)
I got the chance to paint the wooden Buddha and now I’m hooked and am so ready to go back.
Don’t dress cute, be prepared to get messy ;)

Fun girls night out or kids day in. The paintings are fun and the instructors are helpful and fun.

I’ve always wanted to learn how to paint. I’d heard a lot of great things about Painting With A Twist from friends. So when the opportunity for a girls’ night came, I jumped at the chance.
The whole studio had a very welcoming vibe when you walk in. There was someone there to greet us, check us in and give us the lay of the land. The instructor was very good with lots of energy and encouragement. The 2 hour class was done in no time and I walked away with a decent first time painting.
This is a place I will definitely return to in the future. Next time I might even make a trip to the bar they have in the studio.

So. Much. Fun…
We had a team building event here (yes I work somewhere awesome where we do these things).
The staff were super sweet and knowledgeable. They were also accommodating and helpful when I constantly needed more paint because I decided to use my «artistic license» and kind of paint outside of the box.
There is wine and beer to be purchased and great music in the background. This is a super fun activity for everyone!

Had a great time last night! Rediscovered my love of painting. Was easy to follow along, the instructor and assistant were very nice and helpful. And everyone in the class was friendly, so that made it even more fun. I thought three hours was actually going to be a lot of time, but it flew by! Will be back. ;)

Went with some coworkers and had a great time! Everyone is super friendly and it felt like we were all close friends. I’ve seen many paintings from places like this and I thought it would be super easy. Needless to say my painting is a little crappy but I still had a lot of fun! Would definitely do it again. This location isn’t BYOB like some of the other locations.

I had such a fun night celebrating a friend’s birthday! I’m not artistic AT ALL so I was a little worried about how mine would turn out but just like the instructor said, once I took a step back it looked pretty good!
My friend had booked early so we had a private room. She was able to bring in snacks for us and then we bought wine at the little bar they have.
The instructor was great! I was able to follow all the directions with only a little stress! I’d love to go back and do another painting and maybe convince the hubby to do a couple’s class with me!

From the time we walked in the class the staff were happy and upbeat. They were great at making you feel right at home. I had told them when I signed up for the class that is was my daughters birthday and they had her paint area setup with a balloon and a birthday hat and her paint plate said her name and Happy Birthday on it. They walk you step by step on doing your painting. We did so much laughing at ourselves. They had some great oldies music playing to lighten things up. We both traveled out of town for this class but we will both look into taking one where we live. It is worth the money and the time to do it.

I was always afraid to pick up a brush until I discovered PWAT. They make it so easy to not be an artist and still produce a fun, artsy painting. I took my son and we had a blast.

This place is AMAZING!
I’m not exactly the best artist in the world, but they actually explain what you have to do so you’re not left in the dark. It is pretty pricy, however, but that’s to be expected. I wanted to being my kid cousin (who’s 12) to one of the doctor who painting nights (because she loves doctor who) however, the age limit was 16. They do have a bar, but with not only alcoholic beverages, but they have Coke and Sprite and stuff of that nature as well. One thing’s for sure: I’ll definitely be back!

Came here for a «Painting & Wine» event hosted by Ameriprise.
I had a blast, the instructors was were, the venue is nice decorated. They served food and drinks during this event which was great.
Great place for a date and to learn how to paint.

I recently attended my first painting class at Painting with a Twist after visiting many other classes around town. My initial impression was not very good… I called to ask if I could bring my teenage daughter to the class (it was the Dr. Who painting, the kids love Dr. Who…), but was told that 16 was the minimum age with no exceptions. Which is fine, that’s their rule, but it is a crummy rule. Anyway, it did save me $ 35 and I went to the class anyway.
When I arrived for the class I was seated separately from my friends. Not just separate, but in different rooms. Even though we were arrived very early and were some of the first people there the employees acted like it was a huge hassle to switch my seat to be near my friends. They really over-​complicated something that should have been very easy.
And there were plumbing problems. That really is not cool with me. The toilet wasn’t flushing and there was no hot water in the sink. When you’re drinking wine you really want functioning bathroom facilities.
As for the painting, it was good. I liked the instructor a lot, she was very friendly and fun. Having a microphone made her instructions easy to hear and was a big plus for me. I think it would have been good for her to have a larger canvas to demonstrate on. She ended up bringing out a dry erase board to explain some things because it was hard to see what she was doing some times. Also there was only one assistant for the class and it was such a big group it would have been helpful to have a second person going around. I personally never got any feedback on my painting. Normally at the classes I have been to they are constantly circulating giving you pointers.
I like the paintings they offer but I’m not too sure I’ll go back. It just wasn’t my favorite painting place so far.

Had a blast, taking part in the New York, 3 hour painting class. This was for our anniversary and it figh
Upon entering, we had a very friendly welcome from the staff. We booked our reservations as Singles, since couples were full. All that really meant though was we were painting the same photo, where couples were painting two different halves of the painting.
The canvas had predawn lines, which simplified the painting a little. The artist. kept us busy the whole time and the time really flew by.
They also had beer, wine and beverages. You are allowed to bring food too.
After the 3 hour class, I now have more confidence to paint again and really had a blast with learning, applying creativity and listening to the 90, s music

I have been here several times over the past several years specifically for the paint a pet classes so this review is based solely on those classes.
These specific classes cost a little more than the regular classes but are totally worth it if you want a one of a kind portrait of your furry friend. They sell out every time they have this class. The fee includes the canvas, all paints and brushes for use, an apron to wear as well as class instruction. Classes take 3 hours and then some depending on how fast of a painter you are but no experience is necessary.
Once you sign up, you have to email a clear photo of your pet to the business email and one of the instructors takes the time to sketch out the pet photos each on its own canvas. That way, when you arrive for the class, the canvas is ready to go and ready for you to outline and fill in with color. The instructors walk you through, step by step, on how to tackle your portrait from outlining to conveying the «sparkle» in your pups eyes and the wetness of their noses! They are very patient and take the time to walk around and make suggestions with no judgment. They were my saving grace when I would get frustrated with where my photo was going. I could not survive these classes without these valuable people. Kudos to Michele and Jessica for all of your help on my most recent visit. My portrait of our dog, Wally, came out fantastic!
They also play cool 80’s music and have a bar where they sell non alcoholic and alcoholic drinks but you are free to bring your own. Also, don’t forget to pick up a frequent painters card and when you check in on FB/​Yelp you get an additional punch on your card.
I highly recommend this venue for a fun girls night out, date night, birthday party, etc!!!

First timers, and what a time we had. We really enjoyed this, nice folks, decently priced beer and wine to get the creative juices flowing, a sound track you can sing along too, and some helpful artists who can somehow make totally untalented people such as myself create something cool to take home.
