This is a stroke that goes from a wide line to a fine line in a short space and is the stroke most often used by T-shirt artists. Remember to keep your letters consistent. As you will see after spraying the alphabet, freehand airbrushing results in a soft look. To achieve a hard edge, you must use a stencil. Cut your stencils from 5 mil acetate, airbrush through them, and see how the spray captures the edge.
Most airbrush work is a combination of freehand airbrushing and stenciling.
Work with a limited palette of colors consisting of red, yellow, blue, purple, aqua, brown, green, medium gray, black, white and hot pink. Textile airbrush colors do not require thinning. Note that you cannot increase the intensity of a color through inter-mixing. Work up several designs, paint samples, and assemble an attractive display from which customers may choose. In conclusion, airbrushing T-shirts can be a lucrative, fun summer job for many aspiring artists.
