Street Art pieces have been popping up on walls and shutters
near where I live in South East London and last weekend I had a chance to
sketch while one was being painted. The
artist doing the work was called Artista and she was being helped by one of the
team from the London Calling Blog. I
drew whilst the emulsion coat was being added which would act as an undercoat
to the spray paint layer.
I thought I carried too much kit around sometimes but it’s
small in comparison with the street artists’ materials which include a work box
of spray paint, tins of emulsion, paint rollers, tape and ladders. You also need a good head for heights!
