How it works
- Introduction to anamorphism: We start by explaining the "magic" behind 3D art—how to trick the eye using perspective and vanishing points.
- Sketching the illusion: You'll grab a piece of chalk and map out your design on the pavement, ensuring the angles are perfectly aligned for the 3D effect.
- Can control basics: Our pros show you how to handle a spray can like a master, from fine lines to broad strokes and "fading" techniques.
- Applying the base layers: We begin filling in the main shapes of your artwork, choosing vibrant colours that suit the Merida mountain backdrop.
- Adding depth and shadows: This is the secret sauce! We'll teach you how to add realistic shadows that make your art "lift" off the ground.
- Highlights and details: Use white and bright tones to add "light" to your piece, making the 3D illusion truly pop.
- The 'Sweet Spot' check: We step back to the viewing point to check the perspective and make final adjustments to the geometry.
- The big reveal: Step into your artwork for a photo opportunity! From the right angle, it'll look like you're standing on top of your creation.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need prior art experience to join the workshop?
Absolutely! Our 3D street art workshops in Merida are designed for everyone, regardless of artistic background. We start with the absolute basics of perspective and light, showing you how to create depth on a flat surface. Our professional artists guide you through every spray and stroke, ensuring you leave with a piece of art you're genuinely proud of. It’s all about having fun and learning something new! 🎨
Is the workshop safe and are materials provided?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and aprons to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray cans in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors are seasoned experts who provide a full safety briefing before we touch a single can, ensuring a worry-free and creative environment for everyone involved. ✨
How long does a typical session last?
A standard 3D graffiti experience in Merida typically lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the theory of anamorphic art, practice some basic techniques, and then dive into the main project. We don't rush the process; we want you to fully immerse yourself in the creative flow and get that 'popping' effect just right! ⏳
What is the minimum and maximum group size?
We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller looking for a private session, a group of friends, or a large corporate team, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention. Just let us know your group size when you request a quote, and we'll handle the rest. 👥
Do I have to pay in advance?
One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'no stress' booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront! You simply book your date, and payment is handled after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We believe in the quality of our work and want you to feel completely confident when booking with us. ✅
What makes 3D street art different from regular graffiti?
3D street art is a specific technique called 'anamorphism'. Unlike traditional graffiti which is flat, 3D art uses distorted perspective so that when viewed from a specific angle, the image appears to jump off the ground or sink into it. In our Merida workshop, we teach you exactly how to calculate these angles to create mind-bending optical illusions. 📐
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
If the Andean clouds decide to open up, don't worry! We usually have backup indoor locations or sheltered outdoor spots across Merida where we can work comfortably. Additionally, we have backup artists on standby for every booking, so even if an instructor is unwell, your creative session will always go ahead as planned. We’ve got you covered! 🌧️
