Hi there,
I´m totally new to this forum and to airbrushing. I used to paint for many years with oils until I developed an allergy to linseed oil so I switched to acrylics.
With oils I could easily do very smooth gradations, as paint dried slowly, colors were very opaque and them didn't shift from wet to dry. I´m missing these qualities with acrylics and traditional brushes. That's why, I'm thinking about combining traditional brushes (for small subjects and details) + airbrush ( for sky gradiations, cloth folds, blurred backgrounds, etc.)
In a nutshell, I´m not planning to airbrush small details, but rather accurate, medium to big color gradations.
I´m not sure which airbrush should I get for my needs. Is perhaps an Iwata Eclipse HP CS a good choice?
I´d love to listen your thoughts and suggestions.
