Book Description
How Airbrushes Work is a comprehensive look at airbrush use, maintenance and repair. The book begins with a brief look at airbrush history, then moves to a discussion of the various airbrush types. Too many first-time airbrush users have trouble because they don’t know how to clean and maintain the airbrush. This new book from Wolfgang Publications explains how to disassemble, clean and repair all the major brands. Even the best airbrush in the world isn’t any good without a source of air. Steve discusses different compressor types and the advantages or disadvantages of each. Two chapters explain airbrush painting basics - from types of paint to trigger control, and the three basic strokes all painters need to know. Steve closes the book with a gallery of airbrush art, and an airbrush buyer’s guide to help readers choose wisely when they buy their first, or their fifth, airbrush.

Book Description
This is a complete "Intro to Airbrushing" course in a workbook form. A classroom in a book! There is only so much an airbrush can do - dots, lines, daggers, and shading. We introduce each skill in a logical and exciting way. In our book, each skill is cumulative, so grasping each technique is easier than tackling them out of order as you would if you were self taught and left to sift through a cluster of internet information that is not necessarily correct. Our method is successful, because we have taken the entire contents of an Intro to Airbrushing class, and made it into a workbook... yes a WORKBOOK! The skills are introduced in an interesting way, and each lesson has a corresponding workbook page that can be practiced over and over until you are proficient at each skill! There has never been anything like this before! With over 50 lessons, you will master each skill and work up to the four beautiful and challenging final projects. We cover all the basics that you need to know to get set up in airbrushing: types of airbrushes, compressors, paint, substrates, etc....even how to properly hold an airbrush and how to clean it. We are so thorough and innovative, we have earned the endorsement of Anest Iwata-Medea, Inc. AND Grex Airbrushes. A course like this costs hundreds of dollars just for tuition if you were to attend a workshop. With travel and lodging, you can spend thousands of dollars for just ONE course. With this book, you get the same content but are free to take it at your own pace. This is an excellent way to introduce airbrushing into your skill set and develop a life-long passion and income source.

Pages : 68

Book Description
If you are new to airbrushing, thinking about buying an airbrush, or just want to know more about how they work and how to take care of them, this book was meant for you.It goes from basic theory to actual construction with over 40 illustrations, mostly of commercially available airbrushes. And, it includes chapters on cleaning, usage, and troubleshooting common problems. The book is short, but there is no padding or useless filler. Everything in it is there for a purpose. And, that purpose is to share what I have learned about airbrushes over the past several years. It is not about airbrushing technique or how to build or paint models. But, it will give you a good understanding of the device itself. The author is the creator of a website called, amazingly enough, Don's Airbrush Tips. The site was begun in 2008 and has grown to over 60 pages of tips and reviews.
