How it works

  1. The meet and greet: Show up at our designated street art spot and meet your local pro artist. We’ll start with some cool stories about the Sao Paulo scene.
  2. Safety first: Suit up! We provide your mask, gloves, and overalls. Safety is boring but necessary so we can get to the fun stuff safely.
  3. Can control 101: Learn how to hold the can, swap nozzles (caps), and control the pressure. This is where you find your flow.
  4. Lines and fades: Practice basic techniques on our practice walls. You’ll learn how to make sharp lines and smooth colour transitions.
  5. Sketching your concept: Grab a piece of chalk and outline your design. Your instructor will help you with proportions and letter styles.
  6. The fill-in: Start bringing your piece to life with vibrant colours. This is the most satisfying part!
  7. Outlining and highlights: Add those sharp black outlines and 'powa' highlights that make graffiti pop off the wall.
  8. The group gallery: Take some epic photos of your work and the whole group's mural. It’s the perfect memory of your trip.
  9. Clean up and wrap: De-suit, grab a sticker, and get recommendations from your artist on the best local spots to visit next.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a straight line to seasoned hobbyists. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic can control and simple shapes. You'll be amazed at what you can achieve in just a couple of hours with the right techniques and a bit of enthusiasm. It's all about the experience and having fun with the paint!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit unpredictable, and a stray spray of mist might find its way onto your trainers. Think 'comfy and casual'—you’ll be moving around quite a bit as you work on your masterpiece!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority! We provide FFP2 or FFP3 grade respirators to protect you from fumes, as well as gloves and protective suits. All our workshops are held in well-ventilated spaces or outdoors. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the equipment properly and maintains a safe distance from others.

How long does the graffiti session last?

A standard Sao Paulo tourist workshop typically lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This includes the introductory talk, the practice session on the boards, and the final creation of your own artwork. If you have a tight schedule or want a more intensive 3-hour 'masterclass' experience, we can easily tailor the duration to fit your group’s needs. Just let us know your preference when booking!

What is the minimum group size?

For our tourist workshops in Sao Paulo, we usually require a minimum of 4 participants to get the creative energy flowing. However, we love hosting huge groups too! Whether you are a small family, a group of backpackers, or a large tour group, we have the capacity and the artist backup to make it happen. If you're a solo traveller, get in touch—we might be able to slot you into an existing session.

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is super easy and flexible with Graffitifun. You can request a quote through our website or send us a message. The best part? You don't have to pay anything upfront! We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is complete. This gives you total peace of mind and flexibility while you're navigating your Brazilian holiday.

What happens if it rains on the day?

We keep a close eye on the weather. If there's a heavy downpour, we typically move the workshop to one of our covered outdoor locations or an indoor studio space so you stay dry while you spray. Sao Paulo's weather can be unpredictable, but our 'backup artist' system and flexible venue options mean your creative session will almost never be cancelled. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way!
