    Airbrush Lesson Two
    Part Two

    Airbrush lesson two part two we’ll continue on with airbrushing a sphere practicing our airbrush control and shading skills.Written by Don Johnson sponsored by Airbrush Technique Magazine.


    painting 1
    Step #1) As we did on airbrush lesson #2 part one airbrush a nice round sphere to start out this part of the lesson.


    painting 2
    Step #2) This time when we add color into the sphere we’ll use a different color. In my case I’ve chosen to use yellow feel free to use whatever color strikes your fancy. Once again build your color up slowly, follow the contour of the sphere and try and keep all the yellow inside the sphere as you go. Keep in mind from which direction your light source will be coming from as you airbrush the color into your sphere.

    Step #3) Above is my complete sphere complete with darker areas where the light source does not reach and light areas where the light source shines directly onto. Notice there is no over spray on the blue this was accomplished by keeping my airbrush directed into the sphere.



    painting 4
    Summary: Here I have intentionally allowed over spray onto the blue surrounding my sphere and as you can see we now have a green color surrounding the sphere. This is food for thought as you progress in your airbrushing skills mixing colors on your painting surface to come up with a totally different color as you can see above. I hope you found this helpful.

      Paasche is the airbrush and Createx is the type of paint, I'm still learning and was recommended to use those to start.

      Createx recommend by who??

      Make your life easy get Golden airbrush colors, Comart to learn with.

      Your learning curve will not be as steep if your are not fighting with your paint and can concentrate on just getting acquitted with your airbrush.

      I really think it will make things easier for you.
      Createx is a fine T Shirt paint but can be temperamental at time to use.

      Golden or Comart, Doc PH Martins you should have no problems with.

      Please keep us posted as to your progress.

      Take it from Don. I took his advice (lesson 1) and purchased Golden and a newsprint pad, while I was waiting for my airbrush kit. I was practicing and wondering what new guys were talking about. When I started to use the Createx, I found out what they were talking about. But since I learned a bit with Golden my airbrushing wasn't a pain at the beginning. I'm sure it will make practice easier. Thinning paint and air pressure changing will come later. Get comfortable first. Have fun!
