Sometimes it is nice, especially during the school holidays to do something with the kids and I see no reason why air brushing should not be enjoyed by all. OK, don't let them loose on your best stuff but I bet most here have some older or cheaper ABs around and with proper supervision and help, there is no reason why youngsters should not be able to do a T shirt or two or even just art on paper. While the following are very simple, they would encourage children to learn the basic techniques, without thinking about it or it being boring.
One of the easiest ways to get kids interested is with fast results. So I came up with an idea that uses simple oval stencils to fun effect. People tend to think of stencils as only being used for one specific purpose but this is not always the case.
Here I have come up with a sort of owl face, although since it is only the eyes (done with two sizes of oval) you could transform it into any cartoon animal face by adding dagger strokes for fur, whiskers etc.
The other is donut people. Starting at the head with one oval, then for the other parts of the body, overlap horizontal ovals and use a graduated fill.
The hands and feet are done in a similar way and lastly facial features are popped in.
I hope that some of you will think about encouraging your little ones in this creative pursuit, it would be rewarding, fun and you never know, maybe develop an artist of the future!
