Painting with a Twist

Came here with the husband for couples night on Saturday. Reserved seats online the same day. Glad to see there was a dual picture we could paint, rather than us painting the same thing. I like how it’s BYOB & snacks, and that you aren’t forced to buy their food or drinks. The studio was open and clean.
Our instructor was Edwin. He was nice and had a lot of energy. You can try to snag parking in front of the building, if not you can find street parking.
Overall, these paint classes are fun, but expensive, hence the 3 stars. $ 35/​person. Would be more worth it if a 50% groupon was offered… I couldn’t find one for this place but found one for another paint place after I already went here.

This was my second time at a painting event. I had previously attended a painting event in February with Heartsy and loved it so much, when my friend suggested Painting with a Twist, I was excited!
First things first, you can register for your class online for $ 35. The painting depends on the evening you select, so the choice is yours! My girlfriend picked Cherry Blossoms, so I didn’t have much of a choice, but I happen to love cherry blossoms! Anyway, on to the venue review. Arrive early! Parking is extremely limited!
Once I arrived, I checked in downstairs. I was told my class would be held upstairs because downstairs had been reserved for a private party, so I made my way up. Upon arrival I assumed we’d have assigned seats because the online sign up asks who you want to sit next to, but it’s pretty much first come, first served. So if you’re coming with a +1, arrive early!
The girls at my table were great and we were all excited for class to begin. Class started roughly 15 mins after it was scheduled to. This wasn’t a big deal, until we got to the middle of our painting. Everything was incredibly rushed and the instructor seemed annoyed with the class. Also, I didn’t get what the purpose of blasting music during class was for. It made it incredibly difficult to hear and follow instructions. Overall, my experience at Painting with a Twist was rather disappointing. I loved my painting, don’t get me wrong, but I personally would not come back to this location because of the instructor.
ProTip: Feel free to bring your own wine & food!

First Time at any painting event. Heard about them from a couple of friends but never actually attend one till last night. My cousins girlfriend decided to celebrate her birthday at Painting with a Twist and I’m glad she did. Everyone had a wonderful time! The art work that we did was a bit difficult but who doesn’t love s good challenge. There’s definitely more then enough art work to choose from.
Also we were allowed to bring wine which was great. It loosens the vibe a bit.
Are instructor was Nicole, she was excellent and I have to give it to her for dealing with everyone. We took about a ten minute break to let the acrylic paint dry and we played a game she was a wonderful host.
The location was great and venue area very clean. I believe they have an upstairs since I saw a couple of guest walking down with art work.
I would recommend this event to anyone! They did mention they have other events in their calendar.
The only tip there is limited parking. I was able to park next door to them because the place was closed for the day but go with ample time to locate parking or call ahead for directions for parking.

Celebrated my 34^th Birthday with friends & family at this art studio and absolutely loved it! Fabulous place, people and event to celebrate any occasion. I can’t wait to come back to paint and add more artwork to my home!

My cousin decided to celebrate her birthday at Painting with a Twist’s new location on Coral Way. I had done one of these painting classes before with a different company, but enjoyed this one much more.
The facility is large and has the ability to accommodate a couple of parties at once. Our party took place on the first floor. All the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The birthday girl arrived quite late so we didn’t get started until about 40 minutes after we were supposed to. Luckily, they give a one hour buffer between parties so we were able to paint for the full 2 hours and have a bit of time to spare. The actual painting experience was fun. Nicole was the artist who guided us through our painting. She walked around every once in a while to offer guidance to those who wanted it, and had no issues repeating herself when we asked (which was a lot). Another artist (whose name I can’t remember but he was also great) was available throughout the whole class to offer help, refill paint, etc.
They have a counter off to the side where you can set up your food and drinks to enjoy while painting. They even have an outdoor patio where you can continue to hang out afterwards. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to use it due to the rainy weather. The only issue with this location is the parking situation. I found metered parking across the street near the Winn-​Dixie, but there is also a school and a couple of other businesses next door whose parking we were able to use since they were closed. Overall, this was a great experience and we really enjoyed ourselves!
