What is Spin Painting?
If you’ve spotted our Spin experience but aren’t quite sure what it actually involves, you’re not alone! Spin painting is much easier to understand when you see it in action. Here’s how we use colour, movement and a spinning canvas to create completely unique artwork at Colour Drench Studio in Plymouth.

Your canvas does the spinning
Spin painting uses a rotating platform to move wet paint across your canvas. You place the canvas onto our Spin Wheel, choose your colours and add paint while the canvas turns.
As the canvas spins, the movement pulls the paint outwards, creating rings, swirls, trails and unexpected patterns. Change the colours, where you add the paint or how much you use and the result changes again.
There’s no picture you have to copy and no right way for it to look. The fun is experimenting and seeing what happens.
Three simple steps. Endless possibilities.
Spin is about experimenting rather than trying to recreate a particular picture.
Choose your colours
Pick the colours you want to experiment with. Bold contrasts, similar shades or a complete rainbow are all fair game.
Start the Spin Wheel
Your canvas sits securely on the rotating platform while you add paint and watch the movement begin to change it.
Experiment
Add more colour, change where you apply the paint and see how each decision creates different patterns across your canvas.
And this is what Spin can create
The fun is in watching the colours move, but you also end up with a completely unique piece of artwork.
Your choice of colours, where you add the paint and how you experiment with the Spin Wheel all influence the finished canvas. No two Spin artworks need to look the same.
And yes – it’s yours!
Your Spin artwork is yours to take home after your Colour Drench experience.
A finished Spin Art canvas
Colour, movement and a little bit of unpredictability.
Pour it. Splatter it. See what happens.
Spin art doesn’t have to mean simply pouring paint into the centre of a canvas. Try adding colour in different places, splattering paint as the canvas moves or combining techniques to create something completely different.
That unpredictability is one of the things we love about Spin. Two people can use the same colours and still create completely different artwork.
Every Spin is different
Different colours, different techniques and different ways of applying the paint mean there’s no single finished result. Experiment and see where the Spin takes you.
