Price Justification at Painting with a Twist

Below you will find the link to find one near you.  But first

Let me tell you why you need to go have fun.

And Let me include my latest class I took and show pictures to help this not be to boring.

Sometimes we don't go do something that brings us joy and relaxes us because we 

look at the cost and freak out.  But Lets break it down.

Ok for a 2 hour night away from kids enjoying ourselves at Painting with a twist is $35 most the time.  Now and then we might get to pay $25.  You or your spouse might say oh my gosh that is just way to high.  But wait and read below.

1 - You are there 2 hours and the Teacher needs to get paid.  Would you teach a class of adults or children for 2 1/2 hours for free?   I sure wouldn't.

2 - Supplies are not free.  And you don't have to bring any.  They supply everything needed.

1- They supply the canvas (usually a 16 x 20) which is about $7 at Hobby Lobby. 

 I'm sure they in bulk and get a discount, but they are not free.  And Easel.

2 - Paints - Have you seen the price of paints.  You need more than one color.  

They are about $6 or more per tube.  They supply these.

3 - Paint Brushes - I am in shock on what they cost.  And I will say you can 

get them cheaper through Hobby Lobby than through a company.  I'm just 

learning what each brush is for.  The 1 1/2 to 2 inch flat is for covering your 

backgrounds.  Did you know those are around $12 each or higher.  Now you can 

get them in a pack with others, but you are still going to pay between $7 to $14 for 

the pack.  And those prices just went up.  I know because I found a few cheaper 

from old packaging and the newer are like $3 to $4 higher.

You usually use 3 to 4 brushes for each painting.  And I'm sure not everyone 

takes care of there brushes.  So they have to replace them often i'm sure.

4 - Apron ....To keep your clothing from getting ruined.  They have to wash these now

and then also, so that is upkeep.  Even if done at one of the Employees homes, once

again would you work for free?
