Paragraph Process Essay

Here I am going to explain how to make a good graffiti mural, at least, a neat one. First of all, what we need is a very clean and neat wall, preferably white, which we are going to draw on. You also need to have some paint, wall paint incase you are going to paint the wall you're going to use, but mainly you need to have some spray cans of paint of the colors you like. Also yo will need caps for the cans, maybe some paper and brushes, and of course the outline you're going to use, and make on the wall.

To begin with, you are going to get the base color of which you are going to make your mural with. Make the outline on the wall using that same color, when you're done with it, fill the same outline up. Wait till the outline and the filling get dry. When it dries up, get a darker or lighter color to re-do de outline , this way you'll have the outline you just added, and the filling off the first color.

If you followed all the steps in the correct way you will have a very nice graff. After this, grab a the same color you used to retrace the outline and thicken the letters. Fill in the thicken with the same color or you can use another one and make a different filling. When you have the thickened letters outline the whole graff with a very different color from the ones you have already used.

When you have all this, start making a background for your own graff, it doesnt matter if you go over what you already have, this will give it a different effect. For the backgrounds, you can use things like bubbles, squares, triangles, any simple figure one over another. Also you can add a drawing. Have in mind that everyone has a different technique so don't try to imitate other people.
