Painting with a Twist

Had an event here and while everyone loved painting the whole process or working with the management to set up the event was not worth it. First off the woman was rude and when we had a few people cancel last minute our card had been charged and she refused to reimburse us for the money even though we were more than 24 hours out. Also, there was no working AC in the room we painted in, just two fans and a small air conditioner so the experience was brutal given it was a hot Texas day in mid summer. While it was fun to paint, management needs to become more hospitable in order for me to consider going back or recommending this place for an event. The people really make the experience and in this case they just fell short.

Fun for any group or couple– it was a blast
Can bring own booze n snacks
My only complaint is I felt rushed and lotsa time leftover at the end
Warning everybody is going home with similar picture
But directions interpreted by diff peeps also interesting.
Laughed learned enjoyed every minute!

I came here for my birthday with about 15 – 20 of my family/​friends. I was nervous that there wouldn’t be room for all of us, but there was plenty of room for us plus another group of people. For most of us, it was our first time. Our instructor went very slow for those of us that just couldn’t hang and we came out with beautiful paintings. It’s so laid back and the staff was very friendly. I will definitely be back! I have tried the Burleson location as well, but I prefer this one. :)

My wife and I went to this class at the suggestion of a friend and were pleasantly surprised. I am not artistic at all (can barely draw a stick figure) so I was a little skeptical, but this was a lot of fun. For some reason I get better at painting after a little wine… who knew? The instructor Michelle helped us out by taking us through the painting step by step and being very patient with us.
The overall environment was very friendly and fun, with a lot of friendly conversation with the other patrons. The assistant helped us out by offering suggestions and keeping our painting tray things full of paint so we didn’t run out. The place was kept clean and looked well organized.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something different to do (especially if you’re on a date). Chicks dig paintings after all, and you get to drink while you’re painting. And then you get to keep the painting. It’s really a win/​win if you think about it.
Oh yeah, and it’s BYOB so be sure to remember to bring some wine or beer!

Fantastic night out, my friends and I had a great evening… can’t wait to come back! The staff was awesome and so helpful.

Been to several studios and the instructors are great at this one. Highly recommend to try out. Always a lot of fun!

I had been here before & had a great time & my painting even impressed me. So I reserved 2 spots for a friend & myself for another class. My friend, however, got the flu & I was not able to cancel within the 24 hour time frame. I paid $ 90 & they would not even let us re schedule another class. They just took my $ 90 for nothing & gave me a bunch of hooey about how she «already turned it into corporate.» Geez, talk about greedy. I will never go there again. I’ll go to A Piece of Work instead & look forward to it immensely.

You know, I took many a painting class in college, but I’m really not a fan of actually painting. It’s messy and stressful and messy and messy. However, I always painted with oils which take like 10,000 years to dry… Anyway, I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy Painting With A Twist because of my feelings towards painting and because I’ve never been a fan of follow-​the-​leader or paint-​by-​number types of classes. But I came here for one of my BFF’s bachelorette parties, and I seriously had a really fun time.
When you arrive, all the canvases, paints, brushes, and everything you’ll need are laid out for you. The painting is already picked out, so you know what you’re going to end up with. Luckily for me, my buddy chose a lovely fall scene with great oranges and golds, and a dark, sprawling tree running across the canvas. This sort of composition definitely left room for a bit of creativity and freedom. If you choose something like a still life, it’ll be a much more paint-​by-​numbers sort of experience where you just fill in the lines. I appreciated having a totally blank canvas to fill up in my own way.
The instructor stands on a platform at the front of the room and gives very specific instructions on how to do the painting. Our teacher was nice, funny, positive, and so laid back. She painted as she explained, and then you can follow suit. If you run out of a certain color paint, need help in any way, or have any questions, the instructor or the assistant will lend you a hand. It’s a very low-​stress environment. No judgement!
Part of the reason Painting With A Twist is so low-​stress… you can drink! BYOB and sip on whatever you please during the two hour class. We had wine, sangria, and jello-​shots… so anything is allowed as long as no one is acting dangerously! Super fun time. About $ 35 for a seat in a class; look up their schedule online to join a class, or set up your own party and choose your own painting :)

First time here, I was a bit nervous. But after you have some wine it’s relaxing. I’m the worst at painting but the instructor goes step by step, and my painting was better than I imagine. Great place to take your girls, mom/​sister, and even your boyfriend!

Such a fun place to get together with my girlfriends! We just brought our own wine and they provided all of the art supplies. The instructor taught us step by step on stage and was so much fun. It was a relaxed environment and I couldn’t believe how easy it was to paint!
