Online Airbrush Schools

Airbrushing is a technique used to create detailed drawings using a small air-operated tool. The airbrush consists of a small canister that forces ink, dye or paint through fine holes.The artist controls the amount of paint applied to a surface with a variable trigger. Multiple colors can be blended in an even transition allowing one color to gradually become another. Stencils may be used; otherwise skilled artists airbrush freehand. Online courses are available for becoming accomplished in the technique.
