Techniques in graffiti

In this essay i would like to investigate the different techniques used in graffitti art.
These include:

Stencils

Stencil graffiti makes use of a paper, cardboard, or other media to create an image or text that is easily reproducible. The desired design is cut out of the selected medium and then the image is transferred to a surface through the use of spray paint or roll-on paint.

The process of stenciling involves applying paint across a stencil to form an image on a surface below. Sometimes multiple layers of stencils are used on the same image to add colours or create the illusion of depth.

Those who make and apply stencils have many motivations. For some, it is an easy method to produce a political message. Many artists appreciate the publicity that their artwork can receive. And some just want their work to be seen. Since the stencil stays uniform throughout its use, it is easier for an artist to quickly replicate what could be a complicated piece at a very quick rate, when compared to other conventional tagging methods.

Markers


Since graffiti and tagging is not restricted to stencil, we can see a lot pieces made by markers.





Tradtional pieces






Airbrushes




The another tool which is used for graffiti is also an aibrush, which has a slightly different to spraying with a can because airbrush make much thinner lines and it is adjustable.


Styles and technique




"as you go all wround the world you;ll see a variety of techniques in different cities"


Chalk, charcoal or thin white paint are ideal for this exercise, basically use something that can be painted over easily.
