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.
