How-to-Tuesday | How to Draw Graffiti Style

Image result for how to draw graffiti book


The books in the How to Draw series are especially designed for artists of all levels, beginner to advanced, who are looking to hone their skills in a specific style of artwork. The books are 6.5in x 8in, hardcover with an internal spiral binding so they lay open flat as readers follow the steps on their own canvas or paper. The books are beautifully illustrated and contain hundreds of colorful pieces of artwork, photographs, and helpful diagrams. Step-by-step instructions help guide artists through the learning process.

How to Draw Graffiti Style will not only teach you about how graffiti art is made, but will also take you through how the whole culture of graffiti art evolved, and how it remains vibrant and changing today. The graffiti scene has many codes, rules, and classic styles, passed down through generations of graffiti artists. Discover how letters have evolved from the early tag through to the bubble letter, and what we see today. Explore the possibilities with 3D graffiti, using shadow and depth to bring your work off the page, wall, or even the canvas. All aspects of modern-day graffiti art (including the popular stencil art) are explained in depth.
Everyone loves to draw, and graffiti is gaining momentum as a recognizable genre of art. Whether you want to graffiti on paper, on canvas, or on permitted walls, this is the book for you. Complete with easy to follow step by step instructions and expert hints and tips, you’ll be an urban art aficionado in no time.

Out & About | Gallerie F & Secret Walls

Image may contain: text

World renowned Secret Walls has visited over 80 cities and hosted over 2,000 black and white battles with mega talents. This summer Chicago welcomes the event to Logan Square! Galerie F and Secret Walls are teaming up for an all day fest and an evening battle hosted at East Roomon Saturday, July 1: Secret Walls x Chicago

In tandem with the official battle, Galerie F is hosting a very special pop-up exhibition and battle pre-party to support this Secret Walls event. Since the battle itself consists of two teams of four, we were eager to bring out some more talent from 30 artists in a monochromatic exhibition. This Galerie F event is unlike any other exhibition we've hosted before! Although the artwork will be on view with a soft opening to the public, the celebration goes down as a pre-party on Friday, June 30th from 6-10PM the night before the fest and battle.

Join us on Friday night for an all black and white event with beverages from Old Style Beer and ph balanced hydration from Essentia Water before we go big on Saturday!
