Airbrush Techniques

Thursdays, May 14 – June 11 / 5:30 – 8 pm

Learn intensive airbrush techniques and create stylized or realistic artwork to enhance car exteriors, signs, and much more. Explore equipment, materials, paints, freehand application, color gradation, and rendering texture. A compressor, airbrushes, and paints will be supplied at no cost to students for use in the classroom. Enrollment is limited to eight students.

Supply List:

The following items listed below are now optional for the students to have if they wish to practice outside the class which can be purchased at Nevada Fine Arts.

• AIRBRUSH – it is very important not to skimp on the brush! Iwata* makes a great dual action entry level brush called the Eclipse. The De Vilbiss Dager is also a great entry level brush. I highly recommend them. I prefer the gravity feed for ease of cleaning. DO NOT BUY A SINGLE ACTION BRUSH!

• Medea* Super Lube 
• 1 pack (12 sheets) of 9 x 12″ matte Frisket* film 
• Golden* airbrush acrylics. We’ll use all the transparent colors as well as black and white. They come in great sets, make sure it’s transparent.

Instructor Notes: Our class will supply the air compressor and is sponsored by Iwata Medea. We will have airbrushes for all the students to use as well as com art paints, Medea frisket, airbrush cleaners, and super lube.
