i practise on your front fence!
Goood places to practice:
Under bridges, flyovers etc, tunnels, rivers (ive got loads near me and there right next to a train station incase i get balls haha! but right next to a big supermarket :()
Plywood, Fences, Sheds (Ive got a homemade shed made of wood in my backgarden and i paint inside it and outside and white wash it)
Whiteboards, get some dry pens and do some stuff then wash off.. perfect :D
loads more ideas, anything you can find..
Imma hit up the places and bridges near me when i can as i think it will be good and no police hopefully (l)
i just practice under this giant ass bridge.
and theres this abandoned power house in this river bed.
a shitload of people go down there.

So for me, I'm just starting and will be getting into it soon. I've been sketching latley might post some up later. Check this, I found an abandoned building complex. I am going to use the garage. It is a very long and spacious area. it's been abandoned for 2+ years, but it is still "on the market" Might change that later. But it's a sweet place, has a little room I can use that has ventilation via hole in the wall + air duct.
Not to mention the countless pieces of plywood we found (untill we get settled enough to use the cinderblock walls) it's secluded on the boarder of an industrial park with almost no traffic and lots of coverage. I'll definilty get pics for you guys cause you'd be amazed.

Good to have goals!
I usually find a chill spot under a bridge, canals and shit. Sometimes a legal wall with a mate.
Funny thing is I can piece better under pressure, sure it's not as clean but freestyling a piece with a high risk has a better result for me, haha.

remember, its not graffiti if its not illegal

no way
painting is the only way to learn can control and techniques, but once you have all that down, anything you do in your blackbook you can do on the street
but yeah, fuck it, get up on the street. i like to see graffiti around whether it's good, bad or ugly
it's more reason for me to get up when i see it around. especially if i see some weak toy shit to cross out and see if they try to battle/beef

08-15-2008, 10:58 PM
I try out caps and handys, sometimes throws, when I come up with new shit behind this long string of apartment garages.
I can't piece well back there, the wall has a weird paint/coating and spraypaint doesn't adhere to it well, so to get a good fill I'd have to use two cans. And that also makes it drip like a bitch.
I used to practice in a creek tunnel that's always dry, it's mostly well lit too. But now there is a piece from a respected writer (I got to watch him :D) on the wall I used to practice on, so no more.

if your looking for spots, check under bridges..if there is a trail in a forested area, follow that and you will usually run into a nice wall or even tracks where you could go bomb along the wall at night.

Building a table?
Anyway, I go to an abandoned building a mile or two away near a reservoir.
I take my 50 out in the desert until i hit the canals that run under the old folks community and practice on the walls when the roof of the tunnels get to about 20 feet high under the roads. came across another writer the other day running my way with a bandana on, I stopped him and asked him if he was down with graff and i showed him my bag and he showed me his and we went back and just starting writing on seperate walls at the same time haha pretty cool actually.

it cant be abandoned if hundreds of trains are parked there.
careful, one day youll be painting a train and BAM! butt raped by the popos. jeaahh.
and most CITYS have bridges. walk the tracks from one side of town to the other, or to some extent.im sure youll find a bridge. look for bridges that go over rivers and stuff too, theyres ussually some type of walkway under them. bridges dont have to be huge to be able to paint, ive found ill river bridges in the middle of the woods. look around, youll find tons of great spots no matter where you live.

I used to practice on plywood, but the plywood sucked up the paint, so it bled real weird. I go to this little underpass underneath a road in the suburbs, loads of gang writings and whatnot, but if i'm underneath the road, the way the angles are, no one can see me. I can write and step back and look and so on. Low pressure, ventilated, etc. Nice, aside from the fact i have to look out for gangsters cause i have to go over thier shitty tags to practice.

theres a low heat bridge near my place, its a highway over top, some quick tags under it but i just go over them. Two sides to the bridge the walls about 50 feet long and 20 ft high on both sides. train tracks run under the bridge also and the train people have a habit of leaving frates, those will come in handy later.

I think if your going to practice something it should be out of the public and other writer's eyes, because no1 wants to see your shitty practice writings.
So I usually go behind my shed in the backyerd.
Or I'll go inside an abandoned building. Or some secluded bridge.

01-30-2009, 06:00 PM
I practice in these HUGE canals out on the other side of town. Lot's of blank space because it's maybe a mile or two of these canals. Lot's of stuff crossed out and buffed out thou. Can't always get down to the good spots when it's really bad down there, like the water I mean. It get's up to your shin in water and it's freezing water. The walls are like 10 feet high or so thou. In other parts of the canals I mean.

Under a bridge about a quarter mile after this paved trail stops. No one goes off the paved trail since it takes a right turn and no one on the bridge above can see me. There is also a little canal a bit farther down the trail with some decent walls. No people, no cops, and so far no other writers.

I dont usually practice, im already averagely good with my paint.
But when I do just go paint and im just screwing around ill goto this wall thats on the paths near my house. It gets buffed pretty quick though, so its like the throwup and go wall around here.

I practice in these HUGE canals out on the other side of town. Lot's of blank space because it's maybe a mile or two of these canals. Lot's of stuff crossed out and buffed out thou. Can't always get down to the good spots when it's really bad down there, like the water I mean. It get's up to your shin in water and it's freezing water. The walls are like 10 feet high or so thou. In other parts of the canals I mean.
these are def. the best place to practice hands down.
out of sight, not a lot of cops, easy to find
just go to google maps, google maps satellite is your friend for finding places to practice/smoke. look for rivers and such to find bridges which are ok but not the best because there not real secluded.
look for large roads or highways and just follow it untill it looks like theres a bridge that goes underneith it. the highways are the best because no one would ever see you once your in and no one walks by

I have like furniture wood or some shit right now, im getting a 4X6 plywood soon, does paint stick alright on that? I've had problems with alien paint, and occasionaly with MTN hardcore. Ironlak goes on great tho.
I just go to some really nice neighborhoods that have sumps and practice on the wall of the sewer drainage

yo thrice if the spray paint is acting weird on the plywood then just paint it white with a brush then it will be fine

Plywood is a good way to get your letter structure going if your not super solid in that area. But other than that yeah just cover it in a coat of roller paint every once in a while and VOILA! Its like a wall.
I practed and have recently practiced under a bridge. Theres hardly any hobos down there and most of the needles are still in packaging.

got an awesome spot at the back of a factory only like 3 other writers know about. the way in is through a padlocked gate, but the chain around it is super long, enough to let you squeeze through. massive flat walls and it backs onto bush kind of. its really chilled but you have to be quiet some times during the day because one of the adjoining factories has an open gate thing about a story up and workers sometimes do whatever it is they do there and they can see you at certain angles.

the best practice is drawing. i usually draw one little piece a night just on a piece of paper. i draw a lot in school during my classes (i live in a small town for all you people that live where graffiti is a problem and have to worry about other people seeing you draw pieces) and when i have paint i go down to a local concrete factory that is mint to practice because nobody ever goes out there to see my shit throw ups and pieces but there is so much blank space out there. there's only 2 other throw ups out there from other people and they look old. pretty much got the place to myself :D
When I started I used to practise my Graffiti inside my Dads garage, later some friends and I decided that we needed a Wall of Fame for our Graffiti and so decided to ask a local company if we could paint Graffiti on their wall, which was close to a small path beetween two buildings. They had no problem with us doing Graffiti on their wall. The wall still exists.

I'd be smart enough to beat your running ass and I'd catch you in under a minute. But foreal, hope you're keeping your cool now cause I used to run with a jitterboy and I finally just kicked his paranoid ass out cause he couldn't nerve out.
Work on them arms too, runners can't punch foshit. Don't bother with parkour either, that shit slows you down mad quick if you're relying on obstacles more then your legs.
