Just thought I should stop in and say a quick hello.

I got hooked watching the tutor instructional videos this morning. Think I watched all three chapters back to back.
I've always had a keen interest in most things creative. But like most, it took a back seat to other hobbies and careers along the years.

As a kid I drew a lot. I was never very good, but I always enjoyed it. More recently photography and video became my medium of choice, and I still enjoy taking the camera out every now and then. Not as much as I would like though. One thing photography doesn't give me is that hands on satisfaction of really creating something.
I like clean art. Sharp lines and simplicity. I am still in awe of what people can do with an airbrush. It blows my mind how photo realistic some paintings are.

I don't imagine I'll ever be as good as you all.
But I think Airbrushing will re-spark my interest in hands on art.

So I'm currently searching for my first kit and look forward to learning from everyone :)

Peace.

Thanks guys!

I'm looking at getting an Iwata airbrush. Probably the revolution or eclipse. I've heard both are good for beginners.

As for compressor, I have no idea yet. I'm looking at start up kits to see if I can get a good package deal.
Paints, I'll probably just use water based. I don't know much about the different paints yet, but I'm sure black is all I will need for a while :)

Of course, I am open to any suggestions on gear!

I just went to bunnings and got a standard "project air" compressor for pretty cheap....loud but sturdy and it does the job!
