The Airbrush Junky's Corner
An airbrush does strange things to some artists...
At first, it's a fascination with the beautiful effects produced by an airbrush: the soft glows, tones, and the striking contrasts. Then, the artist thinks: "Hmmm. I could do that...". The next thing you know, the artist has spent $300 on a decent set-up and is hovering over a canvas or t-shirt, with new airbrush in-hand, trying to figure out how this damn thing works. Many clogs, curses, drips, and t-shirts later, the artist realizes he needs help... but who, and where? Many phone calls and beat-around bushes later, the artist realizes that no one really wants his competition, and everyone he comes in contact with is tight-lipped with any advice they could offer. That's where I come in... Anyone can airbrush and make it look ok (once they have the basics down), but it takes talent to make the airbrush sing. Competition doesn't bug me a bit! I teach airbrush at local schools and hobby shops, and I haven't lost a student, yet. So, the artist takes a beginners class and his whole outlook changes! They are suddenly sleeping with their airbrush and looking at everything with that strange twinkle in their eyes, as though whatever they see could be a canvas: the livingroom walls, their neighbor's privacy fence, Aunt Martha's blouse, the dog, the kids...everything! "The World's a canvas...paint it up! " ...Colleen May, airbrush junky
