How it works
- The 3D masterclass: We kick things off with a quick intro to anamorphic art—the secret science of making flat drawings look like they’re popping out of the ground.
- Design & Sketching: Grab the chalk! You'll work with our artists to map out the 'distorted' blueprint on the pavement, ensuring the perspective is just right from the viewing point.
- Safety first: Suit up in our protective gear and get a brief safety demo on how to handle professional spray cans like a pro.
- Outline techniques: Start bringing the skeleton of your 3D piece to life using light sprays to define the main shapes and shadows.
- Layering & shading: This is where the magic happens! We’ll teach you how to use gradients and 'drop shadows' to create the illusion of depth and height.
- The filling phase: Pick your palette and fill in the vibrant colours. Our artists will help you blend shades for that realistic, three-dimensional texture.
- The final highlights: Add those crisp white highlights and dark outlines that make the artwork truly 'leap' off the surface.
- The perspective reveal: Stand at the 'magic spot' and watch as the distorted floor art transforms into a mind-bending 3D masterpiece.
- Photoshoot time: Grab your phones! We’ll help you take the perfect snaps of you 'stepping' into the art to share with the world.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be an expert artist to join a 3D workshop?
Not at all! Our 3D street art workshops in Chengdu are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the process of 'anamorphic' drawing, explaining the math and the magic behind the illusions. You don't need to be a master painter to create something that looks like it's jumping off the pavement. We focus on fun and basic techniques that yield impressive visual results.
Is the workshop safe for beginners?
Absolutely. Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. The spray paints we use are professional grade, and our instructors are trained to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly. We always conduct our sessions in well-ventilated areas or outdoors to ensure a comfortable and safe environment for you and your group to get creative.
How long does a typical session last?
Standard sessions usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to go through the theory of 3D perspective, practice some basic spray techniques, and then complete a collaborative large-scale mural. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where you get to experience the full creative process without getting too tired. If you have a specific time frame, just let us know and we can adjust the pace!
What is included in the workshop price?
We cover everything! Your booking includes professional-grade spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective gear (suits, gloves, masks), caps (the nozzles that control the spray), and the surfaces we’ll be painting on. We also bring the specialized tape and measuring tools needed for precise 3D illusions. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a little dusty.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
While we love the sunshine, we always have a plan B. If the Chengdu weather decides not to cooperate, we can often move the session to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space using water-based, low-odour paints that are safe for interior use. Alternatively, we can reschedule the workshop to a date that works for you. Our goal is to make sure your street art experience happens rain or shine!
Can we take photos of our 3D creations?
One of the best parts of 3D street art is the 'reveal' at the end. Once the mural is finished, we’ll show you exactly where to stand with your camera to capture the perspective trick perfectly. These photos are legendary for social media! While the mural itself stays on the ground, the memories and the spectacular photos are yours to keep forever. It’s an incredibly rewarding experience to see your work come to life through a lens.
Is there a limit on how many people can participate?
We are very flexible with group sizes. Whether you are a small group of friends celebrating a birthday, a school class, or a large corporate team of 100+ people, we can scale the experience. For larger groups, we simply bring in more of our professional artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of personal guidance and hands-on spray time. No group is too big or too small for a bit of 3D magic.
