Hello from Calgary, Alberta

[tegato]

Thought I would jump in and say hello.
I am a graduated artest from way back.. meaning old! I do all sorts of art work; pencil, acrilic painting, pen and ink, Rapidograph pen… I have always been amazed at what you artists can do with an air brush, so I thought why not try it. I purchased a Paasche double action VL series and a little compressor 45 to 50 psi, and a few paints (Badger and Aztek R.T.U). All I can say is that I now have WAY more respect for all of you! Bloody Hell you all make it look so easy… and it is not. It didn’t help that I have had problems with the brush right out of the box, will not spray paint, but I am not giving up.
Thank you all for this great forum and looking forward to learning so much from all of you.

Welcome to the forum Tegato. Maybe, if you give us some info on the brush, we can help you figure out the problem. As with anything, though, practice is the key. If you put in the time, I promise it will all fall into place for you. Since you have a history in art, you have a lead on other newbies. You'll be creating awesome works of art in no time.
