A basic problem with airbrushing acrylics can be a tendency to clog the airbrush. If this happens, all is not lost. Acrylics can be removed easily with cleaning agents containing ammonia. Most commercial airbrush cleaners designed for water-soluble paints will clean dried acrylic from the inner workings of the airbrush. When using acrylics, periodically spray cleaner through the airbrush to retain peak performance.
Acrylics are ideal for both work with an airbrush and on paper surfaces.
