This is a very well done presentation for someone new to airbrushing. It gives good information on care and cleaning of the airbrush as well as exercises for learning how to use the airbrush with control. Finally, showing how to make interesting multiple color paintings with the airbrush.

This was a very good vid showing a series of exercises to improve airbrushing skills. Each exercise builds on the previous lesson and adds complexity. Vid shows clearly her technique and she does a very good job explaining her actions.

The artist gives a nice overview of using a double action airbrush, and caring for it. She does show some practice lines and techniques for a beginner, then goes through a project showing how to paint a set of balloons. The one thing I would have liked to see a little more of? She has some amazing airbrush art in the background, that is way out of the scope of training in the video, but that would be nice to have a glimpse of what's possible. Worth a rent if you are brand new at airbrushing or considering it.

Being totally ignorant about airbrushing, I found this DVD interesting. It made me realize that I don't need a fancy device and I'll probably never want to go further then basic airbrushing of my wood turnings.

Good information about the mechanics and what to look for in equipment.
