Painting with a Twist

I booked a 2 hour session to spend a winter weekend with my friends. Painting with a twist is in a very popular location at Carmel. You will find options to eat right before or after and also shop so it's a good plan to spend a few hours there. Neeha our instructor was great and we enjoyed trying our hand at making a bunch of flowers in a vase. They also have a small bar where you can get some drinks, soda and water. A birthday party was happening simultaneously in a room within which was pretty cool. I love places that offer something for everyone. Do check it out!

My girlfriend and I had a great time painting while enjoying a few drinks at Painting with a Twist! We went in early December and the place was very COVID-friendly - groups were spaced out and masks were encouraged (we just took them off for the photo). For those who haven't been (and this was our first time), they make it very fun for beginniner painters like us to have success by walking you through the painting you'll be creating. There is also a "bar" where you can buy a few different types of beer/wine to drink while doing your painting which was fun and not too expensive. They provide everything including aprons, brushes, paints, etc., with the exception of the drinks, which you buy separately. We will be back!

So much fun! If you are overly obsessed with your pet, you need to try one of the "Paint Your Pet" classes at Painting with a Twist. It's more expensive than the traditional classes but absolutely worth every penny! You send in your favorite photo of your pet, the artist sketches the photo, paints the eyes and nose for you, and when you arrive you do the rest. With some wine of course!During the class there are 3-4 artists walking around helping with paintings. They make color suggestions, give you a strategy if you're stuck or if you are a pro you're free to do as you wish. They have a bar with several different types of beer/wine and some small snacks available for purchase as well. The owner is so sweet and even made coffee for someone in the class who specifically requested it. This is a really fun activity to do with friends, coworkers or family. Everyone gets into it - even if you aren't artsy - and you're always amazed at the end result! Special shout out to Heather who saved my picture after my failed attempt to be creative at the end of class. She was extremely helpful, patient and kind to everyone in the class. Highly recommend!

Date night with hubby! Loved the private room and the mini bar as well! I strongly recommend getting there early to get situated and get your drinks ready ahead of time. We shared a bottle of champagne. The music was on point and our teacher was awesome! Will definitely return with the girls for girls night when things are safer to be in for large groups.

My first paint & sip experience did not disappoint! My friends and I went online to select a painting we all liked and booked our reservations ($35/person). Make a note in your reservation if you'd like to be seated with friends! Price includes your 2-3 hours of instruction and all materials (canvas, paints, brushes, easel, smock, etc.). Beverages are separate, which I appreciate because you're not paying for something you may not want! Note that sodas and water is available (only $1 for the water!).The studio is bright and spacious with a separate party room, perfect for birthday parties, bachelorette, etc. Miranda was our fearless and comical lead painter for the day, guiding us step-by-step through our creation. Example of her humor: she referred to our three paintbrushes as Big Papa, Lil Mama, and Tiny Tim. She had a headset and a monitor so we could clearly hear her instructions and visualize them on her canvas. My painting skills are meh but this experience was great in my book. I would recommend this studio to any friends looking to paint & sip, mainly because our class was "large" and we had maybe 20 people there, so it's a more intimate experience. Props to Taylor, the assistant for the day, for refilling our paint, giving us more napkins, and helping us correct our boo-boos!There were times I felt rushed during the process and other times I felt like I was waiting for instruction, so the rhythm of the class could have flowed better, but I won't let that deter me from returning.

We went with my family last night as a pre-Holiday kick off! I have been to this location before and enjoyed the experience! Tonight was a full class too! They had everything ready for us which made the process easy and us able to enjoy each other's company while painting! I will say I think that we started off slow and started to get rushed towards the end to finish but it's all because we were preoccupied chatting and catching up with one another, haha. We had quality paintings to take home, each persons just a bit different from one another! The staff was really nice and patient too! Thank you for a consistently good experience! If I had to make one recommendation I would say for $35 a person, I feel as if you should provide one beverage or a group offering of a snack for this type of event.

Rush to take a class here! We have so much fun. I love it. I took some art classes in college and miss being creative. It's so easy to paint here since you don't have to buy all the supplies. Classes are $35 and they have a HUGE schedule with a ton of variety. We have now been 3 times. I love doing the couples classes since we can hang our paintings together. But we have done 2 other classes where we have been able to change the art up to make them more unique. The last class had Indiana on it with the word LOVE and my husband did HOME and we did the state color different. They look awesome hanging on our wall! I may need a new house so I have more wall space! We gave one to his mom, a spring tree, she loved it. So you could even gift the art! But really it's a super fun time. The teachers have all been super nice and fun. I really enjoy the music they play in class and we have never felt rushed. My first class I got super stressed trying to make it perfect, but you know, once it's on the wall they look great! It's much more fun to just have fun! They have a bar where you can buy drinks by the glass or bottle. They had some snacks as well. Check out their Facebook page and the website for the painting schedule. They even have a party room where you can select the painting and bring friends! They have a very large catalogue. I bet it would be a lot of fun to have a party there!

The teachers were nice and helpful. My painting of my dog turned out decent and i am a terrible artist so theres hope. I wish we had like an additional hour bc time flew by.

I love this place , great time . The owner is amazing as well as the artist . I would recommend for families or for date nights .

Angie was absolutely amazing. Super helpful and fun to work with. She was great at giving advice and being honest when I needed it would highly recommend her.
