This was my very first experience with painting and Painting with a Twist made sure that it was memorable and fun! A group of us ladies grabbed wine bottles and snacks and headed out on our venture. The location is in a strip mall (newer) and was very clean and relatively big. We were greeted at the door by Denise, the owner, and checked in. Each person receives a punch card and you get a free class after the 10th class, which is pretty cool. Our instructor was laid back and very informative. I haven't painted since grade school, so that should tell you my experience! She told me that I have great technique so I wuv her. I'm sorry, I forgot her name!! Blame it on the wine. Painting with a Twist has a monthly calendar and you can attend a session after reserving a spot OR you can get at least 8 participants together and schedule a private party and you get to pick the painting that everyone with be doing together. You start with a blank piece of canvas and the instructor walks you through each step, telling you which brush to use and how to mix colors, make things brighter or darker, etc. She also walks around and gives you pointers or praise. The cost is $35 for a 2 hour class or $45 for a 3 hour class. The whole thing was so casual and comfortable. I was really hesitant to go because I do NOT have an artistic bone in my body, but after just a few minutes I felt right at home. They offer classes for kids, too. You just need to go to their website and check out the calendar. I neglected to take a picture of my painting, so I am going to have to come back and post that pic, but I did take a picture off of their site of the painting that we were doing so that people can see the finished product. Of course, my picture did not look this great, but it was fun and I am proud of it anyway!! Oh and I can't forget Odie..he is the owner's German Shepherd and was a doll! He isn't very good at sneaking food, though. I would try to casually "drop" sausage or cheese and he made it so obvious...ugh! Sorry, Denise, I couldn't help it. He was too cute!! All in all, I highly recommend this to anybody! It was such a nice change of pace and I believe I will make sure to do this at least once a month! read more

Painting with a Twist - This is a painting that we did with our class...I took this picture from their website! - Art Classes Near Me - Flower Mound, Texas

I had a great time! I specifically chose the Flower Mound location because compared to the one in Denton and the other one in Lewisville, this spot had the best painting in my opinion. There's different painting everyday, so check it out and see what you like! Arrived a few minutes early (as you should to check in) and every one was so friendly! The receptionist and the artist (Lenny( were as welcoming as can be. My group was small, and coincidentally we were all high school and college aged students. Lenny chatted with us and made pleasant small talk as we painted away. Lenny is a highschool art teacher I believe, so he was very encouraging. Even though I though my painting looked like boo boo, he assured me that it was fine. I'm not an artist or painter by anymeans. I have NEVER done a serious painting in my life. But if I can do it, so can you. For $35, I can't complain. Will be back in a couple weeks to paint another! ALSO, its BYOB. Cups are provided. read more

Painting with a Twist - This painting was called Milky Way something or other. - Art Classes Near Me - Flower Mound, Texas

Having had several friends participate in various PWAT (that's Painting With a Twist for some of you ... YOU know who you are!) experiences in Texas. So, while visiting one of my best pals in Flower Mound we decided to check it out! OH MY! What a blast! We ended up going on couples night and, seriously, there are no words to express how much fun the group was! The wine was flowing -- you bring your own -- and the catty remarks were flying! (Yeah, you bring those, too!) Our instructor for the evening (Mel) was terrific and fit in swimmingly! We painted a the TUSCAN STAIR SET and, frankly, did quite while! The instructions are so easy to follow, that is feels just a teensy step above paint-by-numbers. As the prior reviewer stated, Odie (the pup) was simply a doll! He was friendly and enjoyed our game of keep-away. The cost was well worth it, in my experience, and I will absolutely check out the local PWATs here in Austin. Need something unique and different to do with a date or with your pals? Definitely give Painting With a Twist a try! read more

Painting with a twist always proves to be a good time! I went with a group of friends and we damn near took the place over. There were 18 of us and we had a such a great night. I do not have a creative bone in my body but I always seem t walk out with a painting I am happy with. There were two men in our group and all the other women wanted to know how we got them there. I was worried they would ot have a good time, but they were both pretty in to it. The instructors are helpful and never get frustrated as we drink wine and don't listen and then ask for more help. :) if you are looking for something fun and different, this is it! read more

We had our engagement party there last night. 10/18/2014. Honestly I wasn't sure about the whole idea. Our instructor, Lenny, was awesome. He was patient and very easy to follow. My whole family enjoyed the event. Our friends all paint awesome works of art. I left there feeling proud that I was able to create something that we'll have on our wall for years to come. Thanks again to Lenny. read more

Painting with a Twist - Fall in color - Art Classes Near Me - Flower Mound, Texas

I went with my best friend tonight for the first time. I was always nervous to go to one of these things because I am by no means artistic. However, I had seen many pictures of friends going and figured if they could do it so could I. I still don't find myself to be an artist but I love my piece! Mine was much different from the rest of the classes as I wanted it to match my house perfectly. I loved having that flexibility. Mel was a great instructor and Odoi was fun to have in the studio. Odoi is the canine instructor! :) read more

I took my 81 year old parents, who are very hard of hearing, to a night of painting. My dad was reluctant to go. Jennifer and Julia were so incredibly accommodating, repeating the instructions and giving both my parents individual attention. It was such an amazing experience. My parents haven't stopped talking about it. They want to go to one in Michigan once they get back home. Great job ladies. read more

So much fun! This is the 2nd location I've been to in the metroplex and you can't help but have fun. Love the instructors and the fact that all you need (canvas, brushes, paint) is sitting out waiting for you when you walk in. Guaranteed fun time! read more

This was my first time doing a painting class. I took my mother and BF for something fun and different to do during the Thanksgiving week. I was not sure what to expect. I was afraid it might be a little too girlie for my BF, but he loved it and is ready to do more (yeah!!). My mother also loved it. The instructor we had was great. He explained everything step by step. It was very relaxed and fun especially when you add wine and some chocolate. I would definitely do it again. read more

I love Painting With A Twist. It's fun and you get to try out new things. What I don't love about THIS particular location is their inability to take special circumstances and work with their customers. I made ONE simple mistake of thinking our class was on a Sunday when it was really on a Saturday. I called the store immediately after I saw that I had made a mistake and they called us a no-show and refused to give me any money back. I booked 3 seats AND made a special request for my daughter to be able to see the canvas well and I still was treated like I was trying to screw them over. The fact I called at 4:55 the SAME DAY for our 2pm-4pm class shows I was in good faith AND had every intention to come (who asks for a special place to sit and doesn't plan on following through?). It wasn't like I called 3 weeks later looking for a refund! It was a simple mistake and I was out $105 because they couldn't be bothered to call my cell at 10 to asking where we were. And they don't have a reminder e-mail service letting you that today is the day. I can't be the only one who has ever made the mistake of getting their days wrong. It happens. Were they hopeful I wouldn't show up so they would have extra cash without giving up a canvas and some paint? I can understand a slight slap on the wrist for my error ($20 restocking fee), but I don't think being out all of it was fair AT ALL. Due to my crummy treatment, another member of my party called the owner and asked for some sort of resolution because it just wasn't right they were keeping all the money. The owner decided on a $50 store credit (still out $55) to be used for another class. I plan on making my money back through one class but I will NEVER give another dime to the Flower Mound PWAT. I will NEVER promote their business again. And I will caution people in person and online about their scrupulous business actions. I appreciate businesses having protocol in place, but in this day and age where people are hurting financially and you scrimp and save to do something special like painting your own canvas, I would do ANYTHING to keep a customer happy. Especially someone who has been there multiple times before. Because they couldn't give me back full credit, apply it to another class in the future, OR charged me a smaller fee ($20 for paint prepped) they have lost out on easily $35 a month from me and anyone else I would invite. That's $420 a year for just me. Big mistake, Flower Mound Painting With a Twist. Big mistake! read more
