Budding artists can create masterpieces without the mess thanks to a digital graffiti wall at Ashford Designer Outlet.

For the next few weekends visitors can use infrared spray cans to “paint” designs onto a large computer screen canvas and can even share their artwork straight to their Facebook or Twitter accounts.

Designs can be scrawled onto a variety of backgrounds including a virtual brick wall or a photograph of the artist.

The centre's Samantha Wetherald explained: “The interactive installation is a graffiti experience with a digital twist. Ultra realistic spray cans enable you to design your own graffiti masterpieces without the mess. The huge canvas and wide colour palette means plenty of space to interact and create, again and again."

The wall is part of McArthur Glen’s month-long Colour Me Happy campaign, which celebrates the arrival of spring and runs until April 21.
