How to Master Airbrush Painting Techniques (Motorbooks Workshop)
I wanted to create book that really explained how to airbrush. A book that both new airbrush artists and experienced airbrush artists would enjoy and learn from. This book is the result of over 25 years of hard learned airbrush lessons. In many ways this is a how NOT to do book, as I explain all the things that went wrong when I was airbrushing, so you will learn how NOT to do something and you can learn from my mistakes. In this book, I explain almost every kind of airbrush there is, and you can find the airbrush that will work best for your needs. I explain the various kinds of paints that are used. All the tools, both big and little that I love to use, tools that I cannot live without. There are easy to follow lessons on how to figure out your airbrush and how to master its control. Then there's chapters with easy to follow lessons on creating some pretty cool and fun airbrush paintings of your own. After that we get onto the real fun stuff, using your airbrush to create a painting of just about anything you want, animals, motorcycles, pinup girls, skulls, mechanical things, scenes from nature. Want  to take a photograph and use it to create an airbrush painting? This book shows you how.Most people see my airbrush work and think wow its so beautiful, how did she do that? Those paintings are a results of many ups and downs. There are many sidebars in each chapter with very handy hints on all the little things most artists have to learn the hard way. But with this book, I explain many of them, so you don't have to make the same mistakes I learned along the way to creating those amazing paintings.And this book also has another special feature. Its very easy to get discouraged when you're trying something new. In my book, I explain how NOT to get discouraged. How to get over the rough spots in your artistic journey. And there's some fun stuff, funny parts of photos and explainations. This book is a one stop resource for any airbrush artist. Tools, techniques and attitudes, you'll find it here.
