Airbrush workshop with Gerald Mendez - "Ground Metal Flask"

Come join us to paint onto Ground Metal workshop with Gerald Mendez!

His classes are always filled with fantastic energy and a ton of knowledge. Don't miss this opportunity!

During this 2-day event (with an optional 3rd day), you will learn step by step process of creating a beautiful painting onto a ground metal flask like you see on the image.

October 25-27th at our studio in Oldsmar Fl.

October 25th will be the optional 1 day addition class where you will learn hands-on how to grind metal to prepare your flask for painting. This class is not required for the other two days and we expect much less people to attend, which give you an opportunity to have better contact with instructor if you'd like to join. Students will start with unprepared metal flask and finish with primed, ready to paint art project.

October 26-27 Gerald will be teaching how to use candy2o Colors, and special techniques to achieve a beautiful piece and expert finish onto a metal flask. Students who joined hands-on class on Friday will have their own flask while those who just joining us for 2 days will have a flask prepared by Gerald's assistant. 

Gerald is an expert in Createx paints and will use a combination of Wicked, Illustration Colors, and candy2o alongside our very own ChromaAir paint.

You can bring your favorite airbrush or use one from our studio's collection. All the materials will be provided, just come over and bring your curiosity and positive energy! And yes, the flask is included in the cost and will stay with you!

Online option: this is something new we're adding this year. You will received a flask prepared to paint and a set of colors we will use. You will need to have your own airbrush setup and a good camera on a stand so we can establish 2-way communication and Gerald can see your progress. You will also need to print paper images (for stencils). You will have access to our cameras via Zoom call. There are 3 angles, changed by Gerald's assistant depending on the situation in the class:

1. Full view of the classroom,
2. Close-up on Gerald and easel next to him, 
3. Zoomed-in on the Gerald's work. 

On Friday you can watch the process as Gerald prepares his flask. No need to follow since your flask will be prepared, however, you're welcome to modify it. 

Saturday and Sunday you will follow the artwork and be able to ask questions. By default your microphone will be muted but we monitor chat and you can either send your question in chat or "raise a hand" and your mic will be unmuted when Gerald is ready. 

Online option includes shipping to any address in the USA and Canada. Other international destinations are welcome to join but are subject to additional shipping charges. Please note, to some countries (like Mexico) it's almost impossible to deliver paints. 

Total count of students will be limited to 15, no matter if you're joining online or coming to our studio so make sure to book your spot ASAP if you'd like to attend!
