from internet:I have a question: Is reducer meant to make the paint thinner?
That’s one of the fundamental philosophies of operating an airbrush: never try to do too much with one color. Airbrushing lays on color and tones in a translucent fashion and each layer builds upon the other. You have to think about your art in that way and think about how certain colors and combinations of colors and the order in which you spray them on will build upon each other to achieve the look you want.Hi !
I place some of my tests. I always mess up in my own way.
Here I used way too much paint for the eyes.

Thank you. I also still have problems with keeping the airbrush clean.
When I don't do a complete cleaning and 2 or 3 days later start again, I often bump to problems like paint stuck or bubbles in the cup.
Does an airbrush need a complete clean after every use?
As a guide, the smaller the needle the thinner the paint and the lower the PSI needs to be.Thank you. Then I will buy a reducer too because I still use the paint 100 % like it is.
.35 out of the boxI use the needle which was included with the Iwata Eclipse HP-CS. It's not on the box how thick the needle is.
