How it works

  1. Safety first: We start by getting everyone geared up with masks, gloves, and protective suits so you can paint with peace of mind.
  2. The basics: Your lead artist will demonstrate how to control the spray can, explaining pressure, distance, and nozzle types.
  3. Can control practice: You'll start by spraying lines, dots, and simple shapes on your canvas to get a feel for the medium.
  4. Sketching your design: Use chalk or light paint to outline your big idea. Don't worry, our pros are there to help you refine your sketch!
  5. Filling in the colour: This is the fun part! Start layering your chosen colours to bring your design to life.
  6. Defining the outlines: Use sharp, contrasting colours to make your piece "pop" and give it that professional street art look.
  7. Adding details and flares: Learn how to add highlights, shadows, and cool effects like drips or bubbles.
  8. The finishing touch: Sign your tag and take a group photo with your masterpiece!
  9. Evaluation and wrap-up: We review the techniques learned and celebrate the incredible public art you've created.
