If you've never painted, never copies a drawing, now worries because you will have plenty of assistance.

This is a byob event, you can preselect the picture advertised you want to paint , or on special request you can paint whatever you may like. Canvas sizes and prices may vary but very affordable for your own perfected work of art. Great location and great staff.

The prices of the supplies are also pretty good. You can find oblique or holders that aren't sold in most art stores around the area. She also holds classes for five people for $185 a person so if you have a group of friends who want to learn, she can do that! Will definitely return!

I think the gallery was a fabulous size for the event and the various artists on display were so beautiful! (Note to self, take pics next times so I can give a shout out or two) (Second note to self: don't get caught up in the wine line, so you don't forget note one)

What's that aesthetically-pleasing little white shop? Is the door open? It's okay, go ahead and be…read morecurious. Instantly, you'll arrive upon a quaint, bright, and modern gallery space filled with beautiful works of art. There are a variety of vivid and whimsical pieces that are sure to catch your attention. There are mostly abstract pieces, and some unique surreal pieces too. The medium used is mostly acrylic paints, which is a personal favorite of mine. Miss Ginger Fox herself doesn't pressure you or watch you while you view her gallery which is great. This little treasure trove of the Bishop Arts District is a must-see after grabbing some Eno's Pizza or Emporium Pies. There are some signs that say "No Pictures" though, so please be respectful to the artist. Pricing is in the thousands, but I think they're worth it. Every piece speaks for itself and is abstract enough to put anywhere in your residence. As an (amateur) artist myself, this gallery inspires me to experiment with more accidental, broad, and messy strokes. If in the area, you must peep through and get inspired yourself!

I've been to several locations of Painting With a Twist - and a couple of competitors - and I've had the most fun at this location with Bree teaching. We gathered a group of friends, 4 couples in all, and had a great evening. Bree kept the class moving at a manageable pace and recreated a couple of parts of the painting that many people were struggling with on the back of her canvas so she could explain in more depth. (that twisty tree was hard, yo) With around 50 people, this was also the largest group I've ever been a part of but Bree and her helper (I've already forgotten her name) made sure every single person had as much help as they needed. We even took a quick break to play Pictionary while our paintings dried so we could paint the next layer. So fun! Here are a few tips: ~Make sure you tell the person taking your reservation if you plan on sitting with other people. 2 of our couples forgot this step and were seated behind us (we got lucky on that placement in that we could still interact with them). ~If you're drinking, bring a sippy cup. Not even kidding about this one. The work spaces are teeny tiny after the canvas, paint, brushes and water cup are distributed. Not only will a non-spill cup keep you from dipping your paintbrush into your hootch (this happens), it'll prevent accidental spills. ~Wear clothes that won't hurt your feelings if they get paint spattered. You wear an apron to paint but that doesn't protect you from accidental brushing/slinging of paint by you and your neighbors. Acrylic paint washes off of skin, not so much off fabric. ~Don't stress! This isn't an art class with a test at the end. You'll be super critical of your painting and worried about every little detail. Try to think of your painting as abstract - it shouldn't be perfect! The point is to have fun painting it. ~Get up in various stages and walk around the room. Not only does it take your hyper focus off your painting, there are dozens of other viewpoints with nifty tricks you might want to use in your painting. Whether you're looking for a fresh date night idea, a night out with girlfriends or a creative birthday party (yes, they book private parties) Painting With a Twist is bound to be enjoyed by everyone.

Our ride there took an extra 10 minutes because even after we arrived within a few blocks of the venue, we still had to drive from one shopping center to the next. The rooms inside are super cool. Rather than being just one big venue, this spot has several cooler small rooms that have varying themes. Perfect for a bday party where you want different spots for your guests to gather. There is also a larger front area where you can get everyone together for food or cake cutting type events. The bathrooms are well kept and accessible and the acoustics are great for having your own DJ. I am unsure of the catering set up because I am pretty sure there is no kitchen so ice and heating things could be a challenge. All in all, a cool venue in the design district!

The first time I went was for my boss' birthday lunch, amazing food and view! Second visit was for an after hours work event. This time, I got to walk around and peek into the rooms, beautiful, elegant, and sophisticated. Great networking event and the food/drinks they were walking around with were delicious. Nothing to complain about other than they didn't come around to me enough! Last time I went, I was a guest of my family who is a member. This time, I ate in the main dining room on a Saturday after a graduation. Once again, the food and the view were amazing. I would highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back myself.
