Stay With It

The airbrush can be a great tool but in the same sense it can also be the most stressful thing you have ever put your hands on. The worst part about the hole thing is that everyone on the Internet teaching and on YouTube are all pros so they make it look very easy, and at the same time stressing you out because you cant do the same thing. My advise to you is to just stay with it, don't go into it thinking you will be amazing just do it for fun and the rest will come naturally.

Transparent vs Opaque Colors

When you get started in airbrushing the first thing behind an airbrush you need is paint. When you go to get your paint you will see that there is opaque colors meaning that they will cover the surface with out any prior preparation. Then you will see that there are transparent colors meaning that if you were to spray over a surface you would be able to see right threw it. To make the transparent color have some depth and to make it more brilliant you need to apply a white Cote on the surface and then spray on the transparent color. There are many many kinds of paint and different ways to use them but for the beginner you should just focus on getting the two basics down. The reason behind it is that the pigments are allot thinner in the transparent colors making them allot thinner or transparent.

Trimming your brush!

Most people when they get started they always get scared by other pin strippers because they will tell them their brushes will suck if you don't trim them properly. The worst part about it is that they will not show you how. But don't worry its nothing like they make it sound like all you have to do is trim some longer hairs off the tip so when you lift your brush you don't have any unwanted hair lines. I am not like most strippers that will NOT tell you anything anything i learn i share with everyone because it is better for everyone.
