The gloomy urban landscape of modern cities is so lacking in vibrant living colors. Graffiti explodes this problem. Learn to write beautifully on the walls of any area and texture.
It is necessary
- - gloves;
- - solvent;
- - paint cans;
- - caps (nozzles for cylinders).
Instructions
Step 1
The worldwide experience of graffiti has highlighted several beautiful styles of writing on the walls. "Trov up" - wide letters of a simple, but at the same time free style, overlapping each other in the first part of the letter. "Bubble" are round letters that look like puffed-up gum. "Blockbusters" are wide, straight letters. This style works well for writing on huge wall surfaces. Decide on the style of the lettering and draw it on paper first.
Step 2
Prepare a wall surface for the graffiti lettering. Find a piece of brick or stone nearby and clean the wall of dirt and old paint. It is recommended to pre-paint a concrete or wooden wall without coating, or on which there were no inscriptions before, with a light nitro paint for outdoor use. This can be done with a roller or brush.
Step 3
At a graffiti shop or auto shop, buy graffiti paint cans in different colors. Paint cans differ in pumping: it can be high or low pressure. With a high pressure of injection of paint in a cylinder, the paint comes out faster and the line is denser, with a low pressure, accordingly, it is slower, and the line is drawn less dense.
Step 4
In the same graffiti shop you can buy caps for cylinders. Different caps - for different line thicknesses. The cap, which is already on the purchased cylinder, is of standard average thickness, about 3-4 centimeters.
Step 5
Wear household gloves to avoid getting your hands dirty, or use solvent with a rag.
Step 6
On the wall, draw the sketch that you worked on earlier on paper. Use one of the purchased paints with a thin cap to sketch. While pressing on the cap, simultaneously move your hand with the balloon from left to right or from top to bottom. The distance from the balloon to the wall when drawing should be approximately 20 centimeters. By removing or approaching the balloon while painting, you can adjust the thickness of the resulting line, as well as its density.
Step 7
After the contours of the future inscription are ready, you can start painting it. And then to the stroke, but with a more contrasting color. For example, black. Modern graffiti paint dries quickly, so you can paint on the painted layer right away, without waiting for it to dry.
Step 8
It is better to fill in the inscription with a thick cap, which can give a line width of about 10 centimeters. Stroke is usually done with a thin cap 1-2 centimeters thick.
