Hi all.

Just stumbled across this forum whilst looking for info on Airbrushing.

Been drawing with Pencils for about 7 years on and off (below is a self portrait). I've done a few paintings with acrylics but not got the highest level of skill. Also used Spray Paints a fair bit but lack of a large enough area to work in means I've been restricted with that medium.

I am a huge fan of photorealism and would look to expand on this with airbrushing (a little bored of monochromatic pencil). I don't think I've ever even seen an Airbrush I'm that much of a novice, so I hope to learn lots here!

Cheers

Pete

Welcome from Florida. It's a bit overwhelming to get started but take it one step at a time. I thought it would be as easy as buying the equipment and start creating art right away. 3 airbrushes later and 3 brands of paint I am understanding the labor of love. Don't give up and stick to your artistic vision. It is an amazing tool and what airbrush tutor has created will help you understand the process. The members are great and offer advice anytime you need it. Enjoy

Thanks for the warm welcome guys and the picture comments

Already had a quick browse of 'Airbrush Tutor' and wow! it looks great. I'm definitely in the right place. Just need to get myself a kit now.

Haha I have experience with that, spent £300 on spray paints and I'm still rubbish!
