Greetings from the South East. I hope you’re enjoy your stay here at the forum. Have you got yourself any equipment yet? What kind of style are you into? Automotive, Illustration etc.

That’s pretty much that start I made too. What Paints have you gone with?
If / when you have questions lol, the search function on the site works well. You’ll be amazed at the amount of information there ready to go. That said, sometimes the wording means you can’t find what you’re looking for, so head into the “Beginners Questions”, throw it up and the answer will be with you shortly.
Also, don’t be shy about posting pics of anything you’ve done so far, you’ll be surprised how much help can be generated.

Looks like a very solid start Mate. Sorry, my last post said about posting some pics, and you did while I was typing.

Good to hear! Im struggling mixing colours not sure if being colour blind helps!

Mixing is a magical art of alchemy all to its self. Reading and experimenting seem to be the best course of action.

Yep, it’s part of the learning. There’s some good articles online and lots of threads about mixing colours right here.

Hi there! Welcome to the forum. I thought you said you weren't an artist??? Looks like you either have some talent or you paint by sheer force of will! I'm diggin it. Like the cars!
Thanks very much! Painting stops me thinking about other stuff maybe why i try harder lol
The blue vw i did on a t shirt to see if it 'stuck'

Any pictures i do are done quickly, longest is under 2hrs start to finish i cant imagine spending months doing one picture dont think i have the patience!

Is that something that grows the longer you work at it?

Lol I just pointed the airbrush at the paper and started winging it... and it shows!

I work as a long distance truck driver, so anything I've ever painted didn't involve a lot of time. I do think that as you gain experience and confidence, you will be willing to spend more time working on something to get it just right. I also think that people that spend "months" working on a project probably work on other projects during that time, so it's not like they only did that one project.
