This course comes from a highly experienced Graffiti Artist – who often goes by the street name: DELM. A true innovator of graffiti styles, DELM has over 10 years’ experience and has painted continuously with a relentless search for new processes and original forms.
DELM also has a clear speaking style which helps to explain complex and abstract artistic processes from the world of Graffiti. Each process is brought down into step by step methods and demonstrated with multiple examples from real graffiti on walls.
There is also a heavy emphasis on practice, developing one’s own original style and drawing in the course.
Graffiti can be confusing to new starters, who often don’t know where to begin with piece construction. And as a relatively young art movement, Graffiti is largely undocumented in its methodologies. This course brings fourth all the fundamentals of Graffiti like it’s never been seen before.
There is also a heavy emphasis on practice, developing one’s own original style and drawing in the course.
