Painting with a Twist FAQ
What is Painting with a Twist?
We are an absolutely fabulous new fun night out and we're thrilled to be here in Daytona Beach! We combine having a good time with friends with painting and at the end of the night you'll come home with a finished product you can be proud to say that you've created yourself! You can sip your favorite wine or beverage and paint a picture along with a local artist. We'll show you step-by-step how to paint a beautiful work of art that you will take home at the end of the event.
Our mission is to offer you an absolutely fantastic time with your friends and will help debunk the idea that you can't paint once and for all! Painting With A Twist is a fun art studio for anyone interested in painting! We use acrylic paints on 12"x12", 11" x 14", 10"x30", 16"x20" canvases, shiplap/specialty MDF shaped boards, glass and real pine wood boards in a variety of sizes. We provide everything you'll need to take part in a painting event, all that's missing is you. Almost 90% of our guests have no painting experience and all of them have great success!
Can I stop in anytime and paint or do I need a reservation?
We hold step-by-step events at various times throughout the month. We also offer DIY events a few days each week from 12-4 pm. We encourage you to join us.

Surface costs vary by product and are available upon request. The balance would constitute the studio credit and would be available for use for ANY future event, not just a Paint Your Pet event.
