new from South Africa

[Cornelia]

Hello my new family J
One day, not long ago (last year October to be exact) I was browsing the internet for some pencil tutorials and stumbled upon airbrushing!!!! I was bitten!! I now suffer an incurable illness called The need to know more!!! And the need to do it all the time. But because, no one I personally know was bitten by the same bug, I had no one to turn to for advice!! At first I thought it should be a piece of cake, me being such a brilliant artist and all boy was I humbled!!! it is quite a different dimension all together!! I phoned almost every paint shop in South Africa, but to no prevail!! I then somehow got hold of a guy selling real airbrush paint (whoooo hooooo) but it is way too expensive to mess around with!! the next thing I had to do, was find someone who would be able to teach me how to airbrush, the same kind of detail I am able to draw or paint (with a paintbrush) then I staggered or should I rather say daggered (LOL) upon air brush tutor (I am a fan) I’ve learned so much just by reading, and practice almost every day until midnight, keep in consideration I have a normal 8-5 job. Is there anyone out there in South Africa!! Who could give me advice on where to buy what!!!????
P.S I got my first brush on 2 January this year yeay!!!

Hi Cornelia, from the UK. I had to laugh at your intro, sounds just like me. I can do art, how hard can airbrushing be???? Lol! Seriously though, sounds like you caught the bug, same as the rest of us addicts, and with your enthusiasm will soon be putting us to shame. Shout out if you have any questions, and post some of your work for some geniune costructive criticism. No Trolls here, just friendly, if slightly clinically insane on occasion, people.

Hi Cornelia, and welcome from New York, USA. I have always admired airbrush work at car shows and wanted to learn. I was bitten by the bug this past August and bought my first brush in September. Since then I have bought another airbrush and haven't stopped since. So, welcome to the club and I hope to see some of your work posted.
