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! In our classes we use acrylic paints on various sizes of stretched canvas, framed canvas pine plank boards, and porch leaners! We take each class and party step by step through the selected painting while singing and dancing and having a great time! Most of our guests have no painting experience and all of them have great success!
How does this work?
Our online calendar posted on our website shows all of our public classes, with descriptions of what we are painting and at what time. When you see one you like, sign up online or give us a call at the studio to reserve and pay for your seat! We also host private parties and VIP public classes - please call or email for more info!
What are the class prices?
Prices depend on the painting time and surface. Most 2 hour classes start at $40 per painter, and 3 hour classes start at $50 per painter. 1.5 hour kids classes start at $32 per painter
