Are you someone who has always been curious about painting but a little nervous about the attempt? Perhaps this is in your new years resolution? Painting and drawing has always been something that my parents and brother excelled at more than me. The most I can conjure up on a good day is a good ole stick figure, less the details – this is why I stick to photography.
Here in the DFW area, a small business called Painting With A Twist has become quite popular. The basic concept is to come in solo or with a group of friends. You are encouraged to bring wine, snacks and will receive step by step direction to create a masterpiece of your own. Last week, I attended Painting With A Twist in Arlington with a group of girlfriends. I couldn’t have asked for a better time! Wine, snacks, Nicole was selected to have “the bell” in class meaning whenever the bell is rung, you must take a drink. During all of this, we paint!
Each attendee is provided with an easel, canvas, brushes and tray of the paint that you will need.
By the end of class, you will have this work of art created by YOU. (And yes, it will be a masterpiece, wine and all!)
Believe me, I was questioning how this would turn out and I couldn’t be prouder of my design! Take a look!
I decided to give my painting to my mom as a Christmas gift. It looked amazing in their living room with this candle light lite up. Also, it was perfect for the Vermont winter, bringing the outdoors in.
This looks like so much fun!!! I seriously need to look into this for my next mama’s night out . And I’m quite sure the only way I could ever paint is if large amounts of wine were involved 😉

Haha! It’s a great idea for a mama’s night out! We loved it. I honestly didn’t think I could paint anything so this was a big accomplishment and it’s definitely encouraging to try it again.
I love seeing how each painting is similar but different.

I know, it was really interesting to go around and view everyone’s piece at the end of the class and see how each one was unique!
Looks like a lot of fun and your painting came out great!

Thanks! If you ever want to go, let me know! My mom and SIL are already requesting more, haha!
A group of our friends got together one night and had a blast doing this very thing. I am by no means an artist but even my painting turned out okay. Plus, who cares what it looks like if you are enjoying good wine in the company of great friends?! 🙂

Exactly! I also like how you can see ahead of time which piece you’ll be attempting and decide collectively! It’s a great event!
I think we have one of these in my area too, I’ve heard they’re a lot of fun!

They are a lot of fun! If there’s one near you, check it out!
We went to one of these parties for my 30th birthday party last year when I was pregnant. It was a fun girls night out.
