Clean Your Airbrush Thoroughly 2

Hi Friends

A very important subject again today, following on from yesterday…cleaning…

You could use lacquer thinners as well for cleaning out acrylic paint from your airbrush, but clean water is cheaper and more environmentally friendly.

Before cleaning, empty any unused paint back into its own container. Spray the remaining paint in the airbrush out onto waste newspaper.

Similar to yesterday’s topic, use a large enough container that you have water in, place the airbrush tip and cup down into the liquid, and gently wash airbrush thoroughly. When clean, partially fill cup with clean water and spray into the container to clean the internals. Holding your finger and pulling the trigger will backflush the airbrush as well, to get the instrument thoroughly clean.

Dry airbrush out completely, before loading up with new paint.

Hope these tips in How To Airbrush Better are of help to you!

My good friend, Stuart Vimpani, who is an expert in flames/murals on cars is well worth a visit...head on over...

Cheers!

Clean Your Airbrush Thoroughly !

Hi Friends

A very important subject today, which we may wish to skip at our peril!

Yes, like our bedroom...the airbrush works better if it's clean!

For best results and for the airbrush to function correctly, it must be thoroughly cleansed of old paint.

For oil paints, use lacquer thinners.

Before cleaning, empty any unused paint back into its own container. Spray the remaining paint in the airbrush out onto waste newspaper.

Using a large enough container that you have lacquer thinners in, place the airbrush tip and cup down into the liquid, and gently wash airbrush thoroughly. When clean, partially fill cup with clean thinners and spray into the container to clean the internals.

The cleaning thinners can be used several times until it becomes too dirty for further cleaning duties.

With the environment in mind, please dispose of the cleanup and waste materials according to your local bylaws.

Tomorrow we will look at acrylic paint cleansing.

How To Airbrush Better will help you to enjoy your artwork!

Nothing to do with Airbrushing or has it?

Hi Folk...I happened across the following in another blog, and was stunned by the sheer speed of mental agility that Leyan Lo must have to solve the Rubik's Cube.

(Credit: Daniel Terdiman/CNET News.com)

Editors’ note: This blog initially misspelled the name of a record holder for solving a Rubik’s Cube. He is Leyan Lo.

Clearly, I’ve been doing something wrong.

Since the early 1980s, when I got my first Rubik’s Cube, I’ve never been able to solve it. Oh, sure, I got one side done, and maybe even two. Or, I could break the thing open and put it back together in its original, solved position.

But now, according to the BBC, a supercomputer has determined that a Rubik’s Cube is solvable in less than 26 moves, regardless of the starting position. So, boy, don’t I feel dumb?

It turns out, thanks to research done by Northeastern University graduate students Daniel Kunkle and Gene Cooperman that that’s all it takes to solve one of the famous toys. Duh.

Yet, I wonder: Could the computer that proved this beat the likes of Leyan Lo, who early last year set the world’s record of 11.13 seconds? I sort of doubt it.

After all, have you ever seen a supercomputer try to turn a Rubik’s Cube?

I tried some years ago and couldn't solve it in under 8 hours, let alone 11.13 seconds...astounding!!

Clearly, it's back to airbrushing for me!

Hi Folk

Airbrushing is an art form that can really make any surface stand out and truly be much more attractive and valuable than it was before. If you have always wanted to know how to create an airbrush flame, you don’t have to wonder anymore. Instead of wondering how other people create such magic with a little bit of paint and an airbrush, you can begin doing it yourself, and doing it well, in very little time. I have a friend who is an expert in this area, Stuart Vimpani. He can help you begin painting just about any surface you are interested in enhancing right away with startlingly magnificent results.

Stuart has literally written the book on airbrush flame painting technique. For relatively little, you can download his e-book and get the inside secrets on how you can begin creating what you have been admiring for so long. Many people are hesitant to get started because they don’t think they are artistic or creative enough to perfect the art form, but you need to stop second guessing yourself! If you can picture great flames on a surface of something in your life, then you have all you need to get started. It’s time to start utilizing the information and advice he can offer you through the Airbrushing Made Easy book.

Go for it!

Airbrushing Talent

Hi Folk

If you are not sure whether or not you have the talent to do this art form, you needn’t worry about that. You simply need to have an interest in it and you can probably perfect the techniques in a few weeks time.

Before you know it you will be using the airbrush technique you learned from us on your vehicles, models, tee shirts, artwork to really infuse them with your style.

Think about it, you can spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on special kits and customizing your car, but nothing makes a car as unique and individual as a good paint job.

And, you do not have to pay an arm and a leg to have your paint job done, instead you can do it yourself to ensure that it is just right and just what you were looking for.

So, just have a go!

Airbrush...The Story

Hi Folk

Have you ever wondered how the airbrush came about...well the following extract from one of my reports will give you some idea.

Interestingly, the airbrush owes its very existence to inventor Abner Peeler who designed and built the first one around 1879. But it was not until Peeler met and teamed up with Liberty Walkup that the airbrush became a commercial success.

The business, “The Airbrush Manufacturing Co” was formed in 1883 and production started shortly afterwards. Of course color photography was yet to be invented and so in those early days people commissioned specialist artists to touch up their black and white photos with the necessary colors. But with the advent of the airbrush all that was to change very quickly as artists realised how much more professionally they could do the re-touching of photos, and in fact paintings and artwork generally. The opportunities for different mediums of work spawned a whole new industry and gave work to hundreds of Americans and later the World as people really started to comprehend what this small instrument could do for all artwork.

But, back to the history,…there were many other inventors snapping at the heels of Peeler and Walkup. People like Burdick, Wold, Paasche, Thayer & Chandler to name a few. And new developments soon overtook the original invention, so that by the 1890’s others were gaining the limelight for their improved models.

How about that!
