Painting with a Twist is a fun art studio in Lexington for anyone interested in painting! In our in-studio events, we teach the stage painting on for that class step-by-step. We also offer open studio and Pop In & Paint Events, where you can choose a different painting and paint on your own with written directions and a copy of the completed painting to look at. For in-studio and Twist at Home, we use acrylic paints and previous art experience is not necessary to have great success!

All tips are appreciated but never expected. If you had a great experience with your instructor, let them know!

We typically have an event calendar that displays the specific paintings we will be teaching step-by-step, and at what date and time. If you see a painting you like and it's scheduled on a day you can attend, you can go ahead and reserve your spot by registering online. The artist/instructor will guide the whole class step-by-step on how to complete that specific painting. We also offer open studio at specifically marked events, where you can choose any painting in our studio, and Pop-In & Paint hours, where you can choose a painting from our painting binder that offers written directions.

The cost is determined by the event but ranges from $35-$75.

Yes! Painting with a Twist in Lexington offers custom candle pouring to enhance Mother's Day experiences. Add a DIY candle to any event when checking out or call the studio. Simply arrive 30 minutes early to pour your candle.
-
Once your candle(s) are poured, they take 1 1/2 to 2 hours to set and cool before they are ready to go home with you. Your painting class just happens to take that amount of time, also, so when your class is over, you will be ready to take your candle home with you as well! Each custom candle costs $20. Reservations are highly recommended as some of our events sell out!
-
Yes, feel free to bring snacks and Non-Alcoholic Drinks to enjoy during class if you would like. The Lexington Studio has been and continues to be Alcohol-Free & Family Friendly. The State of Kentucky prohibits BYOB. If you wish to purchase a drink, feel free to stop by The Hilton Doubletree, which is just steps from our door before or after your class!

Your reservation fee includes everything you need to create a beautiful and unique painting (with the exception of Pop In & Paint reservations, which may require an additional payment depending on your group size and product choices)! When you arrive, you are supplied with an apron, canvas, brushes, paints, and step-by-step art instruction throughout the class if you sign up for our featured painting for that day and time! When class is done, your artwork is ready to hang! The only thing you may want to bring is some refreshments.

Yes, we now offer 2 additional options that allow you to paint whatever you like! 1-Open Studio- This option is a scheduled event on specific days and times with Ashley during a standard event. At this event, you can choose any painting in the studio with over 150 options to choose from. You will also receive any written directions available for that painting and the finished painting to look at while you are creating your masterpiece. Ashley will also be close by if you need anything at all!! 2-Pop In & DIY- This is our newest option, allowing guests to stop in at their convenience. To join Pop In & Paint, check our calendar for available days and times, then register online for a time that works for you. (Example-instead of a strict 6:30-8:30 pm event time, Pop-In & Paint hours may be from 6-9 pm. This allows you more flexibility to choose a time that works best for you)! If you want to do your own thing or paint something different than the stage painting, look for either Open Studio or Pop In & Paint Times on our calendar on specially marked days and times!

We hold classes at specific times, and those are the only times we guarantee an artist is on duty.

If you want to guarantee a seat for yourself, you have to make a reservation. Many classes will sell out. Also, if there are no reservations for a class, we may cancel the class or switch the painting. We set up a painting station for each person. Please make a reservation so we can set up for you and have you seated appropriately with your group if you are joining one.

We try to provide a combination of old favorites and new paintings on each calendar. If there is a painting you really want to see on the next calendar, email us at lexington@paintingwithatwist.com, and we might be able to accommodate your request or join us at Any Open Studio time to paint it!

Wear whatever is comfortable, and you don't mind if a little paint gets on it. We do supply aprons, but if you by chance get paint on your clothes and it dries, it will not come out. If you catch it while it's still wet, you can usually get it out with some soap and water.
