| The GV4 Graffiti Video |
| Written by Cazawa.biz | |
 Two-time winner of the International Graffiti Art Competition "SANO" teaches you the basics of the Graffiti Art Form.
The GV4 Graffiti video presented by moviemaker Bob Bryan gives you a refreshing insight to the Underground Art Form. SANO guides you patiently through both the basic and the more complex spray techniques for both walls and canvases. The video starts out with SANO making a ruff scetch and presenting his ideas for the wall piece. He brings you with him on an enjoyable artistic journey while teaching important spray techniques and making examples. SANO takes his ideas from his ruff scetch book to the wall by Pre Sketching and making Technical Design Considerations. And continues by doing detail work with Spray Cans, making 3D effects, adding shadows, shaping up of letters and finally reviewing the entire production. SANO then begins on a Canvas Project. He starts out by showing how to prepare the canvas, and then from using a black and white picture of 2pac Shakur he creates a portrait using only black and white spray paint. The Photo Realism Techniques is presented in an easy-to-understand way that makes you want to learn. One of the best things about this film is that it presents the art form with the artists own words.
