Why this Course Works
This course is designed to take you from zero experience to mural-ready with a clear, practical approach — and a lot of practice.
- Complete Skill Coverage: Learn everything from spray can control and stencilling to mural design and execution AND how each skill connects to create the full street art spectrum. PLUS discover the advanced skills that create jaw-dropping, professional-level artwork that gets noticed.
- Expert-Led Instruction: Dan is a professional street artist with 30+ years of experience. He was creating paid murals when the industry was just beginning and his journey has taken him from painting trains and trackside graffiti pieces to commissioned mural artworks throughout the offices of big global tech brands (see his client list here).
- Real-World Techniques: Skip the trial and error. Discover Dan's insider tips and techniques: unblocking spray cans and cutting back methods that pros use as well as traditional graffiti techniques (like proper grid scaling) that other courses skip PLUS how to apply them to street art projects.
- Supportive Community: Access a vibrant course community forum where you can share work, ask questions, and connect with fellow learners.
- Practical Resources: Materials lists, supplier guides, and troubleshooting tips help you get set up and stay confident. No more guessing about materials or overpaying for the wrong products.
The freedom of using spray paint is so liberating. It’s super-fast drying, doesn’t involve washing out brushes or mixing paint. Your cans are ready to go whenever you feel like it.
