Which Airbrush To Buy?

Hi Friends,

As in the previous posts I have given some tips on how to airbrush better and now we come to that point in our learning, which airbrush to buy?

Like purchasing anything, you need to do some homework to establish precisely which airbrush is going to suit your particular needs. So, first of all, what are those needs? Write them all down, considering each one carefully. Careful research at this point is vital before you embark on the next step.

There is lots of info on the Net, but that could take an age to ferret out which would suit you.

However help is at hand…Forums are a great source of info where others reveal their experiences gained through trial & error…why not capitalise on that valuable resource!

A perfect example is here…click and read their forum.

But there are plenty of others to check out…do a google search on “airbrush forums”

Enjoy the journey!

Learning how to airbrush better is so rewarding!

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!
