Painting with a Twist FAQ
What is Painting with a Twist?
Painting with a Twist is a fun art studio for anyone interested in painting! There are childrens as well as adult events. We use acrylic paints on various sized canvas and wood surfaces. An artist shows step-by-step instructions for a specific painting. Most of our guests have no painting experience and all of them have great success! This is fun art, not fine art. It feels like a party going on all the time as we play music and sometimes event sing and dance!
What kind of surfaces are available to paint on?
We have a variety of sizes of canvases and wood boards, shiplap pallets and porch leaners. The size offered for events will depend on the art.
Are DIY Candles easy to make?
Our candles are very easy to make and you get to choose the fragrance. We have seasonal favorites and year round scents that are popular. The candles take about 10 minutes to make and set while you are painitng. It is easy to add a candle to a reservation. We also offer Pop In DIY times to create your special candle for yourself or as a gift.
Can I stop in anytime and paint?
While we do Pop In and Paint sessions, most of our events occur at specific times for guests can come in and paint. To join an event, please view our calendar, select a painting you like and register online. Pre-registration is required for all classes.
Are we allowed to bring in beverages and food?
Our studio is all BYOB - we only serve paint water! Feel free to bring in your favorite beverage and some light snacks to enjoy during class! Remember you are painting most of the time so finger foods are best!
Do I need to bring anything with me to paint?
Your reservation fee includes everything you need to create a beautiful and unique painting! When you arrive you are supplied with an apron, canvas, brushes, paints and step by step art instruction throughout the class! When class is done, your artwork is ready to hang! The only thing you may want to bring are some refreshments.
Do I have to draw the picture on the surface?
If the art is a specific person, item such as a shoe, or popular building, we will have it sketched and ready for you. If the art is a landscape/scenery type of art, there is no way we can sketch it for you. Our artists do an amazing job of showing you easy ways to create the painting. You will be surprised at what you can do!
