    I am not an artist, but our painting turned out wonderfully! The instructor was kind, patient, and very skilled at helping us achieve a great result. The drink prices were also reasonable! We will definitely be returning!

    You have to go to Painting with a Twist. It's so much fun, the art teachers are super helpful and engaging with a great sense of humor. Great place to celebrate, fundraise, or just go have a ton of fun with a friend or date.

    We took our daughter and two of her friends for her birthday. All 3 of them had so much fun. My husband and I stayed to watch. The instructor, Brittany, was so much fun and so encouraging to everyone. We will definitely come back.

You can even customize your painting! I love it here and have been coming here for years! I will definitely keep coming! Everyone is super nice too!!

    I LOVE this studio! Where do I begin? It’s inexpensive and you get so much bang for your buck! They provide you with all the paint you could need plus the supplies and the instructors are so helpful! They guide you through the class but you can have as much freedom with your painting as you want. This is my happy place because the atmosphere is so fun and bright, everyone is looking to relax and have a good time. Their inspiration bar is exactly what you need to loosen up and get creative. I do at least one a month or I really start jonesin’ for another paint -n- sip at Painting with a Twist FoCo!

    Luis did a great job instructing this huge class. The atmosphere was calm but full of excitement as each couple created their own version of “Cosmic Love”. Keep in mind…when creating your piece, don’t say “I wish I could do as good as that person over there”, this is YOUR painting.❤️❤️❤️

    Thank you, Painting With A Twist Team! We had an amazing paint class on Saturday! My daughter and I love that we were able to paint our pets! Neither of us have painting experience; your team made painting enjoyable, accessible, and fun! The best part, is that you partner with local non profits and share half of your profit from that class! We are so happy to have been part of your class and to promote a worthy cause! We cannot wait until we can come back! Thank you!

    Took my daughters that are 5 and 8 yrs old yesterday to the starry night event and we had so much fun! Luis was a great host! Would definitely recommend to anyone any age to try out.

    We all loved every minute of the family painting day today! My kids ages 5 and 8 had so much fun and left feeling very proud of themselves and what the created. We will definitely be back!

    Had a fabulous time with my 8 year old son painting 'Mermaid in the Reef'. This was a new painting, which included a fun black light surprise and we added glitter! John was an amazing teacher and so patient with my son! John and Angy, the owners, are fantastic! We had so much fun! I can not recommend this place enough!

    Oh my goodness my cup is over-flowing with joy, confidence, and love. Leeanne (and I'm sorry if I spelled her name wrong) was one of the most blithe & authentic instructor's I've ever encountered. She was up beat, to a wide age range of adult women at the function this evening, yet relatable, respectful & she did it with such ease. For me, personally, she put my insecurities to bed with her knowledge of art and comparing my style of painting to one of my favorite artists making the analogy empowering. I'll be coming back and bring all my Friends, so they too, can have this experience. Thank you!!!

    Yet another wonderful date night painting an interpretation of Van Gogh’s Starry Night. The painting was beautiful, Angy our instructor was kind and caring as she guided us through the steps, and we’re proud to hang more art in our home. Absolutely recommend going and we'll keep going back!

    I love painting with a twist! For me I’ve found I enjoy the selection of paintings they offer here more than other studio companies. 2 weeks ago I came and Leanne who led our class - she was so fun! She was upbeat , playful, light hearted and attentive to whenever students needed help. I loved the music playlist she had going. I tend to be a slow painter and Angela and her husband, the owners of this studio, allowed me to stay for 3 hours after the class to work quietly on another table while another class was going. Because of that I took home a piece I really will enjoy to hang in my home. They offered some tips on how to get the effect I wanted for some sunflowers as well. Thanks you so much! I highly recommend this studio!

    We had a great time..The instructors were friendly, knowledgable and funny. We were kindly welcomed as soon as we arrived, and up until we left. I recommend this for not only couples but the whole family. Thank you Painting with a Twist not only a good time but also a awesome memory we can display on our wall.

    First time to Painting with a Twist... met some family members there. Had SO MUCH FUN! The energy in the place was awesome. I do not drink so brought water but if I did drink, Id prefer this over a bar night with my friends. And I have a cool painting now!

    Took a class with some friends & it was super fun! Delaney was our instructor & she was very patient & accommodating for us! I’m not artistic at all but I’m actually very pleased with my final product! :)

    Our Book Club had such a fun time celebrating Julie turning 60 at 'Painting with a Twist' in Ft. Collins last night. Our instructor, Nick, was amazing and incredibly patient with us zaney senior citizens as he helped us discover our hidden talents. He made even the least of us artists create a painting we could appreciate and be proud of. Most importantly, we shared laughter and made great memories in a studio that felt like a living room of friendship and art in one treasured package. Thank you, Nick, and all at P.W.A T. for a very memorable and special time. Also, need I mention we may have enjoyed a little wine, too?!🥰

    My fiancé and I had such a blast at Painting with a Twist! The atmosphere was intoxicating (literally and figuratively), and the instructors did an incredible job of making sure everyone in the class was following along, and even offered tailored feedback when requested. As someone who does NOT self-identify as a creative, I managed to churn out a painting that didn't look half bad!

  • 5/5 Donald S. 2 years ago on Google
    This was a lot of fun. Even if you have zero artistic abilities these folks can guide you in making a personal masterpiece. Saskia was a lot of fun and very attentive. This is a GREAT date night activity. We are looking forward to doing this again !

    I have done one class here before and am currently signed up for one in the future. I very much enjoyed my first visit and thought the instructor was great. She walked the group thru every technique and color including mixing. Everyone’s painting came out unique to them but it was obvious we were all in the same class. Unfortunately my most recent experience was not as enjoyable. My biggest disappointment is that the way the instructor directed us all to make our painting looked nothing like the one pictured that we had signed up for. Her “version” of it which she assured us would look the same but she just did different techniques because she did not create the painting was nothing like what I wanted to walk away with. I was not the only one disappointed and surprised at how different her version looked. Many in the group struggled. Directions were not super clear. Paint color mixing and techniques were vague in description leading many to struggle and follow along. I was most excited for this painting when I signed up and left deflated, disappointed and frustrated at the experience. I am still going back and trying other classes but I now have mixed feelings about it. Fingers crossed this experience was a one time thing and not the norm at this establishment.

    This was a really fun time for my friend and me! Well organized place and the instructor did a great job telling everyone what was currently being done and what was ahead. Love the result!!

    I had a birthday date here with my niece. We had a lot of fun! Such a cool little studio 😎Our instructor was great! She was so friendly and willing to offer up any help we needed. They have tons of different stuff on their calendar, lots of really cool paintings to choose from. We will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Jaime F. 1 year ago on Google
    We always have a great time at Painting with a Twist in Ft. Collins! We are welcomed with enthusiasm and a smile, and the instructors are friendly and explain each step, so that our paintings come out looking way better than we thought we could do! It's a super fun place, and I would highly recommend visiting them. You will enjoy it!

  • 5/5 Stacey V. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a really fun time. We were both a bit apprehensive, but, it turns out, there was no need to be. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout. Definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Sarah B. 1 year ago on Google
    Our group had a great time! It was well organized and fun. The instructor gave clear, simple instructions for us to follow. We will definitely so this again!

    This was such a fun afternoon! Great staff, clean facilities, nice bar selection, and easy to follow instructions. My prior art has been stick figures. Proud to be able to say "I painted this!" and actually hang it on my wall.

  • 5/5 ShawolPumpkin 1 year ago on Google
    The ladies are fantastic and the art is easy and fun. Even my husband who can't stand doing anything artsy surprised me with a date here and then was the one who said we need to definitely go back. He convinced his parents to go and they also had a wonderful time.

  • 3/5 Ryan S. 1 year ago on Google
    The class was good, we felt it was rushed due to it being the last class of the day. The artist could have spent a little more time walking around to offer up some advice on techniques and what to do. And she could have had better placement of her paint as I could not see how she was doing the next step. We will likely come back but probably try another artist.

    Every staff member I’ve met at Painting with a Twist in Fort Collins is amazing! They provide great instruction and an awesome experience! We thoroughly enjoy this business and the atmosphere they provide.

  • 5/5 Dana Van P. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great time! The artist teachers were super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. I'm from out of state to visit family, but I definitely want to make this a regular activity when we are visiting again.

    We had our end-of-semester event here today and it was a blast! We had many in our group who were nervous and anxious about painting, but they really leaned into it and had a blast. Shout out to Bee, Kris, and Angela for all their help and support in the planning and/or event process!
