Pendulum Paint

Elliot Williams

About this app

Turn motion into art.

Pendulum Paint transforms harmonic physics into luminous, evolving compositions. A suspended paint bucket swings through layered pendulum motion, tracing Lissajous curves, orbital ribbons, splatters, and falling drips across a deep studio canvas.

Start with a curated motion preset or shape the result yourself. Tune frequency ratio, damping, detuning, paint flow, splatter, trail fade, and glow while the artwork develops in real time.

Features:

- Physics-driven harmonograph motion
- Five distinct motion presets
- Rainbow, cyber, solar, and aurora color palettes
- Live controls for rhythm, decay, flow, splatter, trails, and bloom
- Randomized variations for new compositions
- Pause, clear, and restart at any time
- Export and share finished artwork as a PNG
- Responsive layouts for phones, tablets, and desktop browsers
- No accounts, ads, analytics, or tracking

Every composition is generated locally on your device. Explore the balance between order and chaos, then save the moment when it feels right.
