Technique

You will see many good pieces on walls in some places and some not. Why? The good ones are done by people with permits and who are older. They also have certain techniques.

• The paint thickness can be varied depending on what you need to do. For filling large areas, hold the can far away from the surface and for lines, hold closer with shorter, quicker movements.
• A really cool thing to do if you are not that great at spraying is to make a stencil. Draw a design or get a picture off the internet, cut it out and spray over it. Sometimes the most effective pieces of art on the street are stencils.
• Use different shades of the same colour by mixing paint or finding all the different shades at the shop.
• Blend colours for a 3D effect by slightly overlapping the colours softly.
