Aim, splatter, spin: a 45-minute Los Angeles studio session where airsoft guns send paint-filled balloons into canvases that are then spun into abstract works. Small groups, protective gear provided, and finished pieces need up to five days to dry.

You step into a bright studio off a Los Angeles side street and the first thing you notice is motion: instructors loading paint-filled balloons, canvases set on rotors, sunlight angling through industrial windows like a patient observer. Pops and splatters replace quiet conversation as participants aim airsoft guns and send color toward stretched canvas; the room smells faintly of latex and fresh paint, and the canvases begin to bloom.
