Graffiti Canvas Kit

Learn the tricks of the trade when it comes to graffiti art and never have to practice on a wall!!  We’ve included a bunch of shipping tags – which make great little notecards and can be mailed in the cool, kraft tag envelopes (included).  Also included is a canvas to make original artwork for your wall.  Layer newspaper, paint, pictures, letters and whatever else fits onto your tag or canvas.  Step-by-step instructions included!

 Practice first on the tags if you are a little shy.  Graffiti art is a “freeform” and “spontaneous” art, allowing you to let go of your critique’s inner voice.  It’s a great way to loosen up before working on other fine art projects that require more perfection.

Kit includes:

canvas

paints

palette

tags/tag envelopes

custom stencil word of your choice!

scraper

Recent Rave Reviews:

"Just wanted to say that the first card I made with last month's kit, I sent to a friend who is undergoing chemotherapy, and it was a big hit with her and her family.  I had outlined the heart with a white-ink design including the names of everyone in the family.  It's a fun kit!  And the results are impressive.  Looking forward to the April kit!   Cheers,"  e-mailed from V.M.

"I love the technique kits.  I love the new products you choose to use and it introduces me to new things.  Keep up the great work!"  -- Anonymous
