Intro to Airbrushing (3 hours) Brief.

In this class, you will learn the basics of airbrush operation and a lot of theory about equipment and materials.

What you can expect:

• Lots of theory behind the process
  • the airbrush- inside and out structure, maintenance (upkeep and how to assemble/disassemble), knowledge about various internal parts (needles, nozzles, air caps), etc
  • paints – when to use which paints, matching paints with proper needle sizes, how/when to use a reducer, primer, and finishing products such as Gloss Coats to protect your work!
  • tools frequently used when airbrushing- masking tape, stencils, cutting knives, sandpaper/sponges, eraser pencil, etc
• Practicing simple strokes and control over the brush, aka “triggering”
  • learning how to brush clean and straight lines
  • layering even coats
  • understanding the dynamic between paint release and trigger control on the airbrush
  • getting a feeling for the optimal distance between canvas and airbrush for better strokes
• Moving into finer details, such as dagger lines and gradients

We recommend our beginners always start with this course so that you can make the most out of the more focused workshops and follow along with ease.

This introduction will be a half-day class and will run for up to 4 hours.
