If you are a beginner then you'll have a blast on this site. It is chalked full of great airbrush how to help where you can see actual airbrush projects completed. This is really the best way to learn how to airbrush aside from airbrush workshops. But airbrush workshops are expensive. Besides, you can always contact me with any questions you might have about any of the how to's.
In addition to these instructionals we also offer the best of the best in dvd's, videos and books at the best prices right here at learn how to airbrush.com. With these you can learn how to airbrush virtually anything from a whole host of other professionals.
I've found that's important to keep me fresh in my approach and style. And of course sharing our knowledge with each other is a real help also.
A lot of people ask me what my airbrush recommendations are. I offer those also; based upon my experience as a professional airbrush artist and custom painter. And as you will see, the airbrush makes all the difference in the world. You need to have right tool for the right job.
For instance, you can't spray candies through just any airbrush, but if you want to custom paint you've got to be able to spray candies and other heavier paints like pearls etc. A lot of guys try and just get by with the wrong airbrush and it really shows in their work. Besides, you can also ruin your airbrush if your spraying something through it that you shouldn't.
Another very important body of knowledge is airbrush cleaning and troubleshooting. You won't be airbrushing anything if your airbrush hygiene is poor. But just in case we've got you covered there too. We've encountered just about every airbrush problem imaginable and will be glad to help you out and get you painting again.
Learn How To Airbrush: First Free Hand
When I say free hand I mean airbrushing with no masking. Just pick up the air brush and start painting. This is the fundamental building block and absolutely essential skill that anybody who wants to learn to airbrush must master.
One of the biggest mistakes beginners make is to get out the hand held template or the masking material before they can free hand airbrush with any dexterity. They think that masking will be a cure all for all artistic short comings. This is a naive falacy.
- My first piece of advice is become a master technician of the free hand airbrush. If you get this down, you will have cleared the first major hurtle in learning how to airbrush.
Learn How To Airbrush: Second, Learn Masking
If you are proficient at freehand airbrushing then it is with great confidence you will approach the use of hand held masks (shields) or hard fixed masking like tape outs and other traditional paint control layout. As you progress and learn you will find that freehand is just not enough sometimes. This is especially true of the custom painting industry.
Masking is very important to create precise and crisp edges where they are required for design purposes, but one of the pitfalls that many beginners make when they first start is to become way too dependent on masks and stencils. the result is that their work looks too cut out. Most top notch airbush work uses BOTH. So...
- My second piece of invaluable advice is learn to use masking, don't let it use YOU!
