Berlin Letters’ Post

In this 6-hour workshop Colombian lettering artist and muralist Ximena Jiménez will show you all the tips and tricks about the amazing world of spray paint from scratch, so you don’t need to be scared of this tool anymore. Attendees will learn about different caps, brands, tools and more importantly try it out and find what works best for you and your style. Ximena will demonstrate different ways, grids and tools to transfer our art from paper or iPad to a large scale wall. How to prepare the wall, what’s important to have in mind before and after painting an exterior or interior mural and finally you’re gonna put your hands to practice and paint your first spray paint letters. Ximena Jiménez began her path in the world of letters in 2014 while she was living in Buenos Aires. There, she had the opportunity to study and learn the rules around lyrics. In 2019 she moved back to Colombia and settled in Bogotá, where she dived into graffiti and street art. This expanded her way of understanding letters and allowed her to deconstruct them, play with them and take them to much larger formats. Today her work is known for it’s powerful and colorful graphic style, loaded with irregular letters, textures and gradients that fuse graffiti and lettering. Always showing deep perceptions which she considers fundamental, with phrases that talk about mental health, self-care and motivation. https://lnkd.in/daDJQwCT #lettering #murals #graffiti #typography #type #letters #ink #spraypaint
