How it works

  1. Arrival and welcome: Meet your local street artist guide at our vibrant Salvador creative spot. We’ll start with a quick intro to the world of Brazilian "pichação" and street art style.
  2. Safety briefing: We suit you up in protective gear! Put on your mask, gloves, and overalls to ensure you stay clean while you get messy with the paint.
  3. The basics: Learn how to control the pressure of the spray can. We’ll teach you about different "caps" to create thin lines, fat fills, and cool gradients.
  4. Sketching your concept: Grab a marker or a can and outline your design. Whether it's your name, a local symbol, or something abstract, your instructor will help you refine the layout.
  5. Filling and fading: Time to add some colour! Learn how to fill in your shapes smoothly and create professional-looking colour transitions and fades.
  6. Outline and highlights: This is where the magic happens. We’ll show you how to add sharp outlines and "shines" to make your graffiti pop off the wall or canvas.
  7. The finishing touches: Add those final details, drips, or backgrounds that turn a drawing into a piece of street art.
  8. Photo session: Pose with your masterpiece! We’ll take high-quality photos of you and your crew so you can show off your skills on social media. ✨

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Our Salvador workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through everything from how to hold a spray can to creating your first masterpiece. You don't need any prior drawing skills—just a positive attitude and a willingness to try something new. Modern graffiti techniques are very accessible, and we'll have you painting like a pro in no time! 🎨

Is the workshop safe and what protective gear is provided?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality face masks (respirators), protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors are experienced in safety protocols and will supervise the group closely to ensure everyone has a fun, hazard-free creative session under the Brazilian sun. 🛡️

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Standard workshops for tourists usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief introduction to graffiti history, a practice session on basic techniques, and the creation of your final artwork. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy day of sightseeing in Salvador without feeling rushed, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy the beach afterwards! ⏱️

What is your payment policy? Do I need to pay in advance?

We believe in flexibility! You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book. You can pay after the workshop is completed and you're happy with the results. We want you to feel confident in our service. We accept various payment methods on-site, making the process smooth and stress-free so you can focus entirely on your creative journey. 💳

What exactly is included in the price of the workshop?

A standard workshop includes professional artist guidance, all the spray paint you'll need in a variety of vibrant colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear (mask, gloves, suit), and a surface to paint on. We also provide a canvas or a board that you can sometimes take with you, or we work on a designated legal wall area. Everything is sorted—just bring your energy! 🎒

What happens if the artist is unavailable on the day?

We’ve got you covered! Graffitifun works with a large network of professional artists. In the rare event that your primary instructor is unavailable, we have backup artists ready to step in. This ensures your creative experience in Salvador goes ahead as planned without any disappointing last-minute cancellations. Your holiday time is precious, and we respect that. 🤝

What happens if it rains on the day of my booking?

The Salvador weather is usually beautiful, but if it rains, we have several options. We often use covered outdoor spots or indoor studios to keep the creative juices flowing. If the weather is truly extreme, we can look at rescheduling to a better time during your stay. We'll always communicate with you to find the best solution so you don't miss out. 🌦️
