Painting with a Twist - glow Paint - Art Classes Near Me - Austin, Texas

Attended a "date night lovers moon" couples class Rod was teaching. He was tremendously fun and made the night enjoyable to say the least. We got wooden canvases. Everything was nice and set up for us. Don't worry about the first moment of awkwardness. After the first drink no one was judging others paintings and it was a laid back atmosphere to learn and have fun in. BYOB - they have some little cups if you bring wine. We did beer. You can bring snacks too. Super cool read more

Wow, this was super fun. I've done a painting before, but this was way better. The painting we chose was a gnome. It starts off being an outline and you basically fill it in. There's a great instructor that walks you through the steps. Our instructor Rodd, was really good. He was funny, he was engaging, he was really great. So happy to learn of this place. And hope to come back again some time. read more

Painting with a Twist - Our paintings ! - Art Classes Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is such a fun place for date night and girls night out. I had a friend in from England recently and we went. I have been here several times and it's just such a fun, low-key environment. They really do help you get a painting you love and they try to make the classes really fun and enjoyable for everyone. I went with 4 stars only because they can be very loose with time and I've often had issues with classes starting really late, but honestly it's worth the patience. read more

This is a great location. The staff is very friendly, especially Kate. I love painting with the twist. I will totally be back again.

Took my Mrs yesterday after the V-day dinner and we are so glad we chose here. Erica who was our instructor was very descriptive with each steps and encouraging. Definitely worth a visit! read more

If you like painting or even if you aren't the most creative, this is a fun place to give a try! The place is covered with beautiful paintings so plenty to look at. They have cool cut outs to take pics with and stages for you and your friends to take pictures after you paintings are done! They have different paintings to chose from each night and you reserve your seats easily online. They allow you to bring snacks and drinks (byob) and you can also have parties there!! The step by step instructions were so helpful, so you don't have to be a great artist. We painted a baby Yoda and they provided a pattern to trace. My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves and came home with great painting to hang up!!!! I recommend this place! read more

Enjoyable until the instructor stopped painting their painting and, instead of providing feedback or instruction, decided to just take my painting and finish it. And he did this literally half the class, just sat there for 15 minutes and painted your painting without really asking for input or providing feedback, just enjoying themselves on my dime. read more

Man I love this place! I couldn't tell you how many times I have been to this establishment. I have gone to the one on Burnet and the one in Round Rock several times each but there's something about the Cedar Park location. The only thing I can think of is management. The manager here really cares about this location. From what I can tell this is the only location that celebrates their anniversary which I have to say is a huge huge turnout. She definitely makes it fun and I have gone to all of them and will continue to go to all of them because it's not just about the painting but how they make you feel. (Excited to be there) I couldn't draw a stick figure before I came here but they teach you so easily, so simply and make it fun at the same time. I can't wait to go again! read more

I reached out to Painting with a Twist to lead a team building event on a weekday afternoon for our Austin-based employees. Everyone in our group (9 people) had a wonderful time and multiple people mentioned to me that they would love to go back to the Cedar Park location with friends and family. If you go, definitely request Lynsey Boyle. She was an amazing instructor - easy to follow, supportive and funny too! I highly recommend this activity for team building. My team was all smiles throughout the event and is still talking about it a month later. read more

I went here this past week, for the first time, and I'll go back for certain. This place is so much fun! I signed up for the Paint Your Pet, and it was challenging. They sketch the picture of your pet on canvas, and then you have to paint it, making this the more challenging of all their classes. However, the staff are helpful and provide tips and lots of encouragement. I think my portrait actually came out really well. :-) Also, they allow wine and food. So, I was able to bring a bottle of wine and some snacks. This made the whole experience all that more enjoyable, and I'm already planning a girls outing here with my mom. read more

Apparently under new ownership - not impressed! I've been to this place more than a half dozen times and will not be returning. They were clearly understaffed, no offers were made to help inexperienced guests with techniques, actually heard a staff member offer less than polite commentary to guests. Class started late - like 15-25 minutes. Paint wasn't out and ready. And desk staff seemed more interested in helping late arrivals sign up and pay for the session in progress than those who pre-paid online. Open Studio should be avoided! There was no mention that images selected well in advance would not be pre-sketched, the image wasn't printed and ready. Instructions were exceedingly poor and two hours wasn't anywhere near long enough when you must first draw before painting; when you start late that's even less time and most guests didn't finish. If they didn't have the canvas size you selected, paid for, and had confirmation for, they simply unilaterally changed your selection, failed to notify you, sprung that surprise in person, demanded you pay the difference if you selected something similar that cost a little bit more OR offered you a partial credit towards a future class. Like THAT will happen! This place has gone down hill in every way and I'd give negative stars if I could. I was certainly embarrassed to bring guests who had never been here prior. They aren't interested in returning either! read more

I had the best time tonight!! I went with my boyfriends mother and we both very much enjoyed ourselves. The instructor gave us inspiration but encouraged us to be artistically unique. I really appreciated the guidance and felt supervised (but not crowded). Everyone seemed very at ease and the energy was very positive. It's definitely a place that I would both recommend and return to. I can't wait for the next one!! read more

Painting with a Twist - I'm by no means an artist but I'm excited to hang my very own canvas out for all to see!!! - Art Classes Near Me - Austin, Texas

Went here last week for a fun night out with my employees. We had a BLAST! We ended up being the only ones in the class so that was awesome but not expected. Adrienne was our instruction and she was fantastic! She never made us feel rushed (I think we even went over our time) and didn't rush us to start when a couple people were late. This was my first time doing this and I will say I was pleasantly surprised by how much time my girls and I had to still socialize. I thought it would be painting from start to finish but we had plenty of "drink and dry" breaks so the painting could dry in between steps. Can't wait to plan another one! read more

Went to the paint your pet charity event with a few friends. I have to say the experience triggers my desire of wanting to start painting again. I had so much fun at the event, the staffs were very helpful and patient with us, and answered all our questions. Everyone there seemed having fun. I'll come back for another class. read more

The Yelp page for this location is oddly empty considering the hundreds of reviews on the Cedar Park PWAT Facebook page. Anyways, we drove out all the way from UT during Valentine's weekend since all of the "good" (we weren't into the love trees..) classes for closer locations were filled up. We were between this session (Congress Bridge) and the Austin Sunrise one. We came prepared with wine (wish we had more), and it looked like most of the folks there brought wine and beer as well. Booking a session was extremely easy, and while I initially thought $35 a person was pretty expensive, PWAT has to have been one of the coolest/most fun dates I've ever been on. When you get there, you pick out an apron, which they have plenty of silly ones, and sit in a seat they assigned to you. Your canvas, brushes, and all the paint you will need are already all laid out. I was pretty nervous near the start since I kept thinking I would mess up irreparably, but soon I was having fun and realized it was hard to mess up too badly while following the instructor's directions. Our instructor went at a good pace and was entertaining during the breaks we had when we let sections of the painting dry. There were some short party games and giveaways, etc. The session honestly ended before we knew it, and the end product turned out awesome enough now that it's hanging on my wall, even if it didn't look amazing up close that day. I think if you come with an open mind, are ready to have fun, and have some alcohol with you, this place would be a great way to spend two hours for any kind of outing. I had not touched paint in over ten years, and it turned out to be a memorable experience. read more

Omg! Why haven't I gone to this place sooner?! It was so much fun! I went to Painting With a Twist with a group of kids from the school I work at. We painted neon hedgehogs. Our instructor's name was Zach. He was very professional, and didn't rush anyone through their paintings. He was clear and guided everyone through their own unique piece of art. We listened to Mo'town music for the session which was fun. I loved watching all the kids put their own touch on their artwork. Even though we were all painting the same thing, they are we're unique in their own way. I will definitely be going back , except this time for adults only. Painting with a Twist is BYOB and food , but they supply napkins, cups and bottle openers. Price is exceptional , and totally worth it for as much fun as I had today. read more

Painting with a Twist - My neon Hedgehog :) Stay Sharp! - Art Classes Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had no idea they did birthday parties for kids. My daughters LOVE art. Painting, drawing, creating... so I thought this would be a perfect way to celebrate a milestone birthday for her. The kids were so proud to take their paintings home to their families. The "teacher" was attentive and fun. It is a little pricey for a kids birthday, but I know why. This is why I recommend it being for a "milestone" birthday. With that being said it was WELL worth it. Now I can't wait to go back as an adult this time. ;) read more

It was my second experience with Painting With A Twist and my first time at this location. My first experience was so great at the Burnet location and the teacher did very well explaining throughout the class. I went yesterday afternoon with a couple of friends. When we got to our seats I noticed the painting was not like the picture we saw online which disappointed me. The clouds we're painted differently and I couldn't tell what was the beach or the water. It didn't really make sense in relation to each other. We had a couple bottles of wine that we wanted to put in some ice buckets so I asked the assistant if we could have an ice bucket and she told me they don't provide ice. It says online that they do provide ice but I guess now they don't? If they don't provide it anymore, the online description of what they provide needs to be updated. The teacher was OK. She wasn't very energetic and did not explain thoroughly on what colors we should use in what order and how to paint it on. I wish she provided more tips and tricks on the water and clouds. A lot of people would ask questions and she seemed to get irritated by it. We also didn't finish in time. We just started the clouds and they told us we had fifteen minutes left so then everyone was rushing.The teacher and assistant could have been more friendlier. I probably won't come back to this location. read more

I had a great first experience here. My friends surprised me on my birthday and got us all a session. The byob and snacks is an awesome side note that I highly recommend. The woman teaching the class was very nice, entertaining and helpful. After the class she told us it was her first day and nobody could tell. You can tell the staff really like their job. I would recommend for girls night out or a cutesy date. read more

Painting with a Twist at Cedar Park was so much fun! It was my first time experiencing Painting with a Twist and I can't wait to come back. There were only a total of 4 people at the appointment, so we definitely had the luxury to take our time and get some one-on-one with our artist, Mandy. They provide you with a canvas, paint, brushes, and talented teacher/artists to guide you through the experience--basically everything you need for your perfect painting. In addition, it's BYOB (they have ice if you forgot some). #1 rule: relax and have fun. The artists go step-by-step with you--they tell you what colors to mix, what brushes to use, how to stroke your brushes, etc. It may look like a mess at first, but everything honestly does come together. Mandy was a great joy to be around. She was patient, enthusiastic, and mingled with all of us throughout our session. There was also a raffle: guess how many cork screws are in the jar. Whoever gets the closest amount wins a prize. And guess who guessed the closest? Your gal right here! Wooot! I got to pick a painting of my choice on the Raffle Wall (the red canvas). I highly recommend Painting with a Twist at Cedar Park for your GNO, kids' birthday parties, family get-together, or if you're just looking for something different and artistic to do. You can't go wrong with Painting with a Twist! read more

This place is cool! My girlfriend took me on a date there this past Saturday. They basically give you paints, a canvas and instruction (and also music!) while the guy teaches you how to paint a scene. In this particular instance we did "Colors in the Wind," which was a colorful cherry blossom tree against a sunset on a lake. I personally felt a little bad because I was getting slightly bent out of shape that my painting was turning out like absolute crap, despite the fact that I've totally taken art lessons in the past (granted, like, a decade in the past). I apologized profusely to her, because I know this was her date idea, even though she said I didn't come across as mad as I thought I was (which is good, because inside I was fuming for a minute. I know how to mix paints, damnit, why does this look like balls?!) Anyway, I digress. I did actually have a good time after I just let it go and got into the painting. It's a fun little place, and the instructors do a great job of walking you through the painting and making it fun. We'll definitely go back! read more

I took my daughters to one of the spring break painting classes. My daughters are 9 and 4 years old. They had a blast! They enjoyed getting to create a fun piece of art to hang on their wall! The instructor was kind and very patient. She encouraged all the children to have fun and to be creative in making the painting their own. Way to go Painting With a Twist! We will certainly be back for more classes! read more

My daughter had her bday party here. It was so much FUN! The kids and parents were not sure what to expect because they had never been to a painting party but ended up having a blast! Ginger was our instructor, she did a fantastic job keeping the kids engaged. As the mom (host) I must say it was very easy. We got there 30min prior to setup then enjoyed the party the rest of the time....NO CLEAN UP! We packed gifts and painting in the car. My daughter thanked me several times for such a swell party! read more

Awesome studio to unwind and have some fun with your friends and family! BYOB and you leave with a beautiful new piece of art

So I came here recently for my moms birthday and honestly I was not pleased normally I go to the locations in Houston and every single time I have a amazing time so what made this not so great was that the painter or instructor looked as though she was extremely stressed out she wasn't super you know energetic or anything like that they didn't have any cups or ice I'm just used to these accommodations you know when I would go to the locations in Houston now when I asked her about these things she definitely did say that oh per state standards or city standards or something like that was the reason that they didn't have any of the ice or cups but even then I ask for napkins and I was with a group of five and she gave me one or two napkinsSo I had to go to the restroom to get more napkins I mean it was an OK time but I definitely will choose another location I'm just used to a super fun energetic instructor and she was just like not having a good day or they must have been shorthanded or some sort read more

They provide the supplies and there is a teacher, you just go there, bring some drinks if you want, and then you paint. I really wanted to enjoy the experience but it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. I felt like the instructor could have given more tips while painting. My painting that I came home with was meh, it was alright but I threw it away afterwards. The instructor asked us in the middle of the session to publish a photo / status on social media and "check in" on the Painting with a Twist location. I didn't really like this marketing effort, they even turned it into a contest where you win a painting in exchange for getting the most "likes" at the end of the session. I didn't want to participate in all of that, I just wanted to enjoy a guided painting session. Overall my experience was just OK. It wasn't that good but it wasn't that bad. Would rate 3 stars. read more

Purchased a class for the Mother in Law, Wife, and Daughter. Ladies told me that they felt rushed and no attention was given to them because of the bigger class in the other room. Wife asked for assistance several times and they told her she needed to hurry up because another class was scheduled right behind them. After they completed their paintings no one was waiting to get into the room. The lady was very short and seemed to be in a hurry. Too bad, but next time we will be scheduling another place to go. Got immediate feedback from them and we will be visiting again. Thank you. read more

My husband and I did the "Paint Your Pet" event in Cedar Park, in part because it was a fund-raiser for Puppy Mill Awareness Day and in part because I had seen the painting my sister did during a previous "Paint Your Pet" event. I had high expectations based on my sister's experience - and my expectations were exceeded! I was really nervous, but the instructors helped put me at ease. They provided a great outline on the canvas and all the supplies we needed, broke everything down step by step, and provided individual help as needed during and for a little bit after the class ended. Even better, they offer a free S.O.S. class for those of us who need and/or want help to work on our paintings a little more. I also liked that they work with a lot of organizations to arrange fundraisers. I wholeheartedly recommend them for parties and fundraisers or just for people who want to have an afternoon of fun! read more

This is the worst location I've been to around Austin, and I've been to all of them. The past 3 experiences at this location lacked instruction or help. Once, we had an assistant for a huge class. It was hard to see and hear with the crowd and music. When I asked for a little guidance, the assistant said "I don't know. Just look up the painting on your phone." I noticed that both times, if you didn't see or hear what the instructor said then you were on your own. Another time, no one showed so they charged me full price to sit at the table and figure it out on my own by looking at a print out while another class was taught. I can do that at home and would've preferred my money back. That wasn't an option. The last time, the instructor was constantly leaving for some reason. The instructor we had 2 times had personality. There's a small woman that works the desk and was the rude assistant who is a stick in the mud for a place that should be fun. My friends and I won't be returning. read more
