Rare Book

Review:

I think this is a great book to have in your library or on your reference shelf if you're thinking about airbrushing or haven't been airbrushing for long. For the beginner, chapetr one is a must, with excersies and how-to's so you can familiarize yourself with then capabilities of your airbrush and the way air-pressure and the distance the the brush is away form your working surface affects your work. As with everything else practise makes perfect. The other nine chapters demonstrate the versatility of the airbrush, including fine art/illustration, painting on T-shirts, helmets and bie tanks as wella s sections on taxidermy and temporary tattoos. With over 400 pictures in a step-by-step format the author lets the visulas tell the story but there is a detailed escription accompanying each one. An interview with each artist explaining how and why they use certain tools and what techniques they use is a real bonus with each chapter. After you've mastered the basics only lack of interest can stop you form exploring any world you choose....well worth the money and certaily won't be left lying on the shelf gathering dust. --Pinstriping Uk, March 2009

Doug uses interviews to explore the way in which each artist learned his or her skills, what type of paint they prefer, how they adjust their airbrush, and how to avoid the typical beginner's mistakes. Includes examples of the basic airbrush strokes and how each is achieved through the careful use of the airbrush trigger and precise hand movement. By mastering the basic skills, the budding airbrush artist can create a foundation for more sophisticated art.
