Book private graffiti lessons in Leesburg

The fundamentals of graffiti are easier to learn than most people expect.

• Letter structure: every graffiti style grows from plain, well-proportioned letters. Clean basics keep your later styles from looking sloppy.
• Handstyles: a handstyle is your tag, a fast stylized signature. Most writers build their whole style from it.
• Types of graffiti build on each other. Tags are quick signatures. Throw-ups use bubble letters. Pieces are detailed multicolor works.
• Daily drills in a sketchbook build speed and control. Move to markers and spray cans once your letters feel steady.

A tutor can also show you legal spots and safe spray techniques once you are ready for walls.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

Comparing several profiles helps you find the best value.

The best way to start graffiti is with a pencil and a sketchbook.

• Pick a name to write. Choose a short word you like, because you will draw it hundreds of times.
• Draw plain letters on guide lines in a sketchbook. Keep each one the same height and thickness.
• Build up your style in layers. Outline first, then add color and a shadow.
• Try real tools after your sketchbook drills improve. Legal walls and workshops give you a safe place to spray.

An instructor can pick the right tools for you and teach clean technique from day one.
