My sister Christina took me here for my birthday. I've never really painted anything before. Our coach, Cody, helped with everything that we needed to be successful with our paintings. It was such a great experience. There's different paintings on different days, but the day we went it was to paint your own personal pet. And we would just send the picture over to them, and then when we got there, each of our pictures were sketched out somewhat so we can start the painting process. I highly recommend it. Oh, and bringing your own drinks and snacks as a major bonus. read more

Painting with a Twist - Painting - Art Classes Near Me - McKinney, Texas

I attended Painting with a Twist as part of a private group. it was fun to see how many versions of one painting could be created. this could spur a novice to begin a new creative path. The teacher was excellent and, if I may say so, kind to those of us who had no idea what they were doing. read more

Painting with a Twist - Art Classes Near Me - McKinney, Texas

I enjoyed it! Ebony and Cody were very kind and funny! They gave nice instructions and were kind about giving tips and answering questions. They made every step idiot proof. Nice vibe, great music. You pretty much make a lovely painting in 2 hours more or less. During painting I was kind of discouraged about how my painting turned out, but looking back at it I'm pretty happy with it since I don't really work with acrylics and prefer watercolors. I thought I was going to go home and fine-tune it, but I think I'll leave it alone. It was a nice experience overall. Definitely recommend if you're feeling creative. Even if you aren't, you'll be pretty proud of yourself afterwards. Even if the painting isn't what you'd expect, you can turn it into whatever you want! read more

My niece (11yrs) and I did the "pop in and paint" DYI experience! They gave us all the materials and instructions. It was different than the normal classes but really fun! We had a good time as we painted the heart tree! We definitely are not the best artist but we did our best and had fun doing it! The staff is friendly and helped when we got a bit confused! My niece and I recommend! read more

Painting with a twist is one of my favorite things to go do with my best friend for a fun girls night out! We love to stop and get some nice snacks a bottle of wine and join a class here. Both of the painting instructor Ebony & Cody have awesome vibes and both very helpful while making the class fun! Don't worry if you don't know how to paint or never painted before, by the time you leave here you with your masterpiece you will feel like a new found artist. Just relax, sip, snack, paint & have some fun: after all that is what this is all about just relaxing and having fun! Sometimes when my best friend can't go with me I even join a class and go alone: but I am never alone cus there is always a great bunch of people there and someone yo chat with. If your looking for a fun girls night out or a couples night out then find an event and book it and go paint and relax. It's definitely a lot of fun! read more

I decided to plan a girls night at this location and overall the painting experience was good and the painting instructor was amazing! So fun. What was very uncomfortable was the (possibly manager not sure) man that came into the room and proceeded to talk about politics in relation to a comedy skit (about Trump specifically) and said "trump can lick my ta*nt." I was applauded not only by the crude language but also discussing politics with customers, no matter your views this is so inappropriate. This ruined my view of this specific location (and their business as a whole) and brought a sense of uncomfortably to the entire experience. I wanted to bring my daughter but now after this, absolutely not. read more

Just plain fun! Megan was calm, patient, and very enthusiastic leading the group. Aliyah, her assistant was a blast.

Very friendly staff made everyone very comfortable. Definitely give them a try if you are in the area

Visited with my 6 year old granddaughter during Pop in and Paint!! She loved it!! I helped her paint a birdhouse and she had a great time. It was very nice and cool inside on a very hot and humid afternoon. The employee was so helpful and helped us feel comfortable. Others were quietly painting. The environment was calm and quiet!! Will definitely go again for myself and friends sometime!! read more

We love The Dude!! We have painted w him several times now and always look forward to the fun and laughter!!!

The Dude led an enjoyable evening painting and playing trivia games. We had a blast! It was "oversold" and a bit too close for comfort, so think twice if you're booking a Star Wars or other mainstream theme. I'd do it again, though. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Even though I was sitting in the back, I could watch the leader on tv. If I do it again, I will show up early and try to secure seat near the teacher. read more

We had a group of four that booked a three-hour class with Cody and it was such an enjoyable experience. Cody is made for this job...what a great coach and guide, all the while engaging everyone by name and making the entire process a lot of fun! We plan to return with a couple more people and take another class with Cody. He made this first-time canvas painter so comfortable and helped me produce something that was far better than I imagined I was capable of. Thanks for doing your job so well Cody...we'll see you again! read more

Definitely come to PWAT McKinney! The Dude is such a great entertainer and teacher! We have been so many times and we only come to the classes Cody is instructing because he's amazing. All the other teachers are great as well but we are particular to Cody. Book a painting. You won't regret it! read more

Painting with a Twist - Art Classes Near Me - McKinney, Texas

I came here for a mothers and daughters Girl Scout event that my friend invited me to and had a great time. Snacks, wine and drinks were allowed, and both the grown ups and kids had a blast following along with the instructor (Cody, a.k.a., Dude or the more formal Mr. Dude) as he walked us through on how to paint a neon butterfly. Fun and relaxing atmosphere, the girls were singing along to all the songs, and the moms chatted along and tried to help but not get in the way of the girls' creative process. Hair dryers were provided on site to help speed up the paint drying process; the bathrooms were clean; and although this is a smaller PWAT location, it was easy to move around. Definitely coming back here on one of my next return visits to Dallas :) read more

Painting with a Twist - "Butterfly" lol - Art Classes Near Me - McKinney, Texas

So, I was one of the people in the world who heard of this and thought that there was no way I would enjoy it because I am SO terrible at art (drawing/painting/etc). However when my mom's night out group scheduled a night here I figured since wine would be involved (because I was bringing it, this place is BYOB) and many of my favorite ladies would be there, I'd at least enjoy that aspect. Seriously? This is awesome! No matter how bad you are at painting the teacher takes everything step by step, they pre-portion out the colors you need and the brushes you need. Yes, your painting isn't going to look like a perfect replica, but it's going to look close enough and you'll have the great memories. All of the people here were so nice, the owner is VERY supportive of local organizations, and you will have a blast! So bring your favorite adult beverage and have a blast with some friends! read more

Ashley's patience actually got beautiful art out of me! My friends and I had a lot of fun. You sign up and pay online then show up with snacks. All supplies are provided and you're guided through every step until you've created a brag piece to hang on your wall. It's not serious, it's fun. Ashley kept saying there are no mistakes. My friends and I made lots of mistakes! She just came over and told us how to alter them and, in the end, we all loved our paintings. You can book private parties if you want to choose a painting that is not already on the online calendar. There is a minimum commitment though and if you don't get enough people, you are still responsible for the additional costs. They have over 4,000 paintings in their database so they will email you a link then allow you to choose from those. You'll then be given a pass code to give to your friends so that they can go online and pay to join the class. If you really feel the need to have a painting designed just for you, you may call and talk to the artists at the shop and, for an additional fee, I'm told they'll create one! I definitely recommend Painting With a Twist for solo outings or groups. If you go alone, there are always friendly people to chat with. The cost is $35 for a 2 hour painting and $45 for a 3 hour (more advanced) painting. There is a punch card (I love punch cards!) and at the end they'll give you 2 punches if you check in with Facebook I got 2 for checking in on Yelp. read more

Painting with a Twist - My 3 hour painting - Art Classes Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Went there on 3/24/17 with hubby for first time. It was a fantastic experience. You can bring snacks to munch on and your favorite beverage of choice. :-) They provide cups, plates, napkins & plastic utensils as needed. Our teacher Samantha was wonderful and encouraging. Floor artist helper Riley was wonderful as well. They both helped us through any questions and the directions were easy to follow. I encourage folks to open an account while making reservations to get points on the account. Points can be redeemed for$$$ off at future reservations, once certain level is reached. All in all - a wonderful experience. They game played at midway through the class was also fun. Highly recommend this place to all family and friends. Looking forward to a future visit. read more

This might just be my absolute favorite studio! My best friends and I frequent many locations throughout the year depending on the paintings and of course our schedules. There is definitely a fun and carefree vibe at this studio. The instructors are not only knowledgeable and talented, but also entertaining and lighthearted. Upon arrival you are greeted instantly and guided to your canvas. At this time you can get settled in, browse some of the other pieces displayed on the walls, and start enjoying any snacks and beverages you brought along for the experience. Riley was our instructor and you can definitely tell she enjoys what she does! She went through all the materials and then we got down to work. Riley was helpful and encouraging throughout the process. She also kept conversations flowing making for an enjoyable experience with the other artists as well. Additionally, I loved the playlist Riley used over the loud speakers - definitely adds to the vibe. I've noticed at other locations it can be more quiet with the focus more on the product than the process and experience. This was also my first visit at a studio that took a picture of the group at the end and offered to take a picture of my friends and I when we finished. We had an absolutely fantastic time and I highly recommend this location. read more

Cody ! Aka "the dude" makes the entire experience !! Hands down the best instructor and overall entertainer . Me and my boyfriend have a new date night activity and absolutely love it !!! read more

Such a fun night!!! I went with two other friends and we had a great time. I thought for sure I'd screw up any painting, I don't have a talent for painting...at ALL. But they made this so easy for anyone to follow, even me! Jordan was our instructor and she was AWESOME! Very helpful, encouraging and super nice! We are going again with my mom and daughter soon and the hubs and I will give this a try on our next date night. I can't wait. You can bring snacks, which we did, or wine if you want. The people were all so much fun to paint with and just a light, fun atmosphere. I know my family and I will be regulars at this place for sure! read more

This was so much fun. My second time at Painting with a twist but not first time at the mckinney location. Brought my big family here for grandma's birthday and they all loved it. Great location across the way from starbucks so if you don't like alcohol that's a great alternative. Great instructor and a beautiful picture after. :) read more

This place IS open now!! Ive gone twice now and I LOVE it! The teachers are great and the crowd here is SO friendly. By the end of the class you can call any of your class mates friend. Don't be afraid to come alone! Allot of people do! Just come ready to be social and a bottle of wine wouldn't hurt or any kind of snack. This is a great place for a date or a girls night out. They have summer kids classes for 20.00 and for the older well behaved kids (so around 9 yrs and up) you drop off, come back 2 hrs later and BAM! They created a master piece that will have actually NOT left any residue on your carpets....which I like. ;) read more

I have been trying for almost a week to get in contact with somebody at this place to schedule a bachelorette party. Last week, I submitted two online party requests, and nobody responded. I also called several times. Nobody ever answered. While there is an option to leave a voicemail, over the course of a week, their voicemail has been full every time, so it won't accept my voicemail. I finally sent in an email this weekend, and on Tuesday, a very nice girl called me. She told me they never received any of my online submissions, and suggested that I was probably submitting to a location other than McKinney. I checked my browser history and I haven't been to any of the other Painting With a Twist location websites, so that's not possible. Based on their unwillingness to respond to requests via phone and email, I have a feeling they did receive my party requests, and just didn't answer. Unfortunately, the one time I got someone on the phone, I had to cut off my call with her early, because an emergency call from my husband came through. I told her I'd call her back. I have called her back 4 or 5 times now, and no response. She called from a different number than the studio, so I did leave voicemails. I have also tried to call the studio 5 more times today, over the course of about 5 hours, and nobody has answered or returned my calls (of course I haven't left a voicemail there because the box is full). I've also sent another email today, no response. I wish I could give a review of the actual class, because this looks like a lot of fun. But since they don't seem to want to book my party, I guess I'll never know! read more

Love this place! Love this concept! ....Never been here myself, as I am already an accomplished painter for many years.
