How it works
- Introduction & safety: We kick things off with a quick intro to the world of 3D street art and get you geared up with masks and gloves.
- Mastering the can: Your artist guide shows you how to control pressure, distance, and nozzle types to get the perfect line.
- The 3D secret: We reveal the 'anamorphic' trick—learning how to distort a drawing so it looks three-dimensional from a specific angle.
- Sketching the illusion: Using chalk or light spray, you'll map out your 3D design on the surface, focusing on perspective lines.
- Filling the depths: Start applying your base colours, learning how to use gradients to create a sense of volume and weight.
- Shadows and highlights: This is where the magic happens! We'll show you where to place dark shadows to make your art 'lift' off the ground.
- The finishing touches: Add sharp outlines and 'hotspots' (white highlights) to make the 3D effect truly pop and look realistic.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be good at drawing to join a 3D street art workshop?
No artistic experience is required at all! Our professional street artists are experts at breaking down complex 3D techniques into simple, manageable steps. We start with the basics of spray can control and perspective drawing, ensuring that even if you've never picked up a can before, you'll leave with a piece of art you're proud of. It's all about having fun and trying something new in a supportive environment.
What materials are included in the workshop?
We provide everything you need to become a street art pro for the day! This include high-quality spray cans in a huge range of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or surfaces we'll be painting on. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm, some comfortable shoes, and clothes you don't mind getting a little dusty.
How long does a typical session last?
Typically, our 3D street art workshops in Leuven last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of 3D techniques, sketching out your design, and the final spray-painting process. We ensure the pace is energetic but relaxed enough so you never feel rushed while perfecting those tricky optical illusions.
Can you host the workshop at my own location in Leuven?
While we usually host workshops at our designated creative spots in Leuven, we are fully mobile! If you have a private location, a backyard, or a company car park that needs some life, we can bring the entire setup to you. We just need to ensure the space is well-ventilated and that we have permission to paint there. It's a great way to customise your event.
Is the spray paint safe to use?
Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control, and we provide all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including professional-grade masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced artists who oversee every step of the process to ensure a safe, clean, and enjoyable environment for everyone involved, from kids to adults.
Can we create one big mural together as a group?
Absolutely! We offer various scales of workshops. For smaller groups, everyone can work on their own individual canvas. For larger groups or team-building events, we often suggest a collaborative 3D mural where everyone contributes to one massive, mind-bending piece of art. This is a fantastic way to encourage teamwork and create something truly impactful together.
Is there a minimum age for the 3D graffiti workshop?
Our workshops are designed for ages 8 and up. For younger children, we focus more on simple shapes and bright colours, while for teens and adults, we dive deeper into the technical 'anamorphic' math that makes 3D art look like it's popping off the wall. It’s a versatile activity that scales perfectly to the age and skill level of your specific group.
