Learning how to airbrush

I’m teaching myself how to airbrush. Apparently the easiest way to learn is to accept a commission to paint an electric guitar. So far I’m pretty happy with the work I’m producing.

That is super nice. I just bought an air brush kit to learn myself. Any tips?

I watched a lot of YouTube videos. I recommend Bloodshot airbrush videos. He is an interesting character and does mainly motorcycles but actually goes into more artistic techniques and color theory plus he has a lot of tips for beginners.

I tried to start out on making my own airbrush paints using plain acrylics but switched to using actual airbrush paints cus it was easier to not have to deal with diluting it properly. Hobby-lobby actually has a decent supply of airbrush paint.

And always clean your brushes after your done.
