Publisher's Synopsis
Airbrushing 102 is the sister book to Airbrushing 101, and continues the journey into the airbrush and all of its wonder. Airbrushing 101 is a complete Introductory to Airbrushing course in a workbook form. It encompasses all of the basic techniques that an airbrush can do and breaks it down into manageable projects to make it fun and interesting to learn. The 50+ lessons are in the front with a "how to" and the workbook pages are in the back and can be duplicated over and over until each skill is mastered. Airbrushing 102 begins with a brief-but-mighty lesson in Art Theory. We find that mimicking an airbrush piece will only teach you how to mimic, but to understand what makes a great piece of art is an essential part to growing as an artist. We then took the theory and utilized it throughout each project. The skill level begins with where 101 left off, at the very basic mastery, and blooms into trigger control and technical skills that are worthy of the intermediate level. The beginning projects are reinforcement of basic skill sets and elevates the projects throughout to those that are worthy of being framed. There are a couple of projects that introduce T-shirt airbrushing techniques, a few that are specific to trigger control and how it affects value changes, a few that embrace the excitement of using color, new techniques in erasing and pushing and pulling a piece to get it to the desired result.... The list of subjects we cover are too numerous to list! Each lesson is a step-by-step project that is easy to follow and reproduce. There are plenty of new techniques that will introduce the range of skills that are typical of a professional airbrush artist. This book helps to develop those skills and gives practical experience to further the airbrushing journey. There is a list of materials that are needed to complete the 16 projects and 3 final projects, so there are no surprises along the way. If you come to class prepared, the projects are easier to master. The Airbrushing 101 & 102 books are textbooks that can be used together to begin an artistic education that can be put to great use to generate income once mastery is achieved. Come with us...we will show you the way!
