Airbrush Reference Library
by Don Johnson
No matter how long you’ve been airbrushing or custom painting it remains a learning process, experience; there’s always some new technique to learn, try. Which is great as it keeps airbrushing, custom painting exciting, keeps you reaching to progress in your skills and knowledge to produce an even better piece with your next project.
As is the key to success in many endeavors you under take being well organized in your airbrushing, custom painting endeavors is one key to becoming successful. Building a big well organized reference library of technique articles as well as reference photo’s certainly is a step in the right direction. The ability to pull up relevant information to help a project go smoother, save you time and materials will certainly make any of your projects much more enjoyable and possibly even more profitable. Before starting your next painting project having a well organized reference library will make it easy to research techniques, best materials to use and plan for that painting.
How to build a well organized airbrush, custom painting reference library of techniques is what I’ll cover in this article by showing you how I go about putting my own reference library together.
What you will need to put your own airbrush, custom painting reference library together: one three ring binder, three whole punch and of course a source for your material to add to your library. For this example for source material I will be using the digital format version of my airbrush magazine Airbrush Technique Magazine issue #23 which I printed off on my home computer/printer just like anyone can do. You could use pages from this very web site as your source material if you like. To put a well organized reference library together use plastic three ring binder dividers and make a section for each of your interests in airbrushing, custom painting. I make one section for motorcycle custom painting another for helmet custom painting, one for airbrushing t shirts and so on. Next I go thru Airbrush Technique Magazine issue #23 and separate the how to articles out into corresponding divider section topics I made in my three ring binder. Use your three whole punch to prepare the pages of each article for insertion into my binder. Pictured above my airbrush reference library is well under way. The three ring binder will now accompany me to the shop/studio where it will come in very handy in future painting projects I’m sure. I hope you’ll follow my lead and put yourself a airbrush reference library together soon.
