I was very happy with this video. I have been airbrushing for about 2 years now but I figured I would go back and rent this video just in case I had missed something when I started airbrushing. I am really glad that I did. There are some great exercises and instruction in this video. If you think you know all that there is to know about airbrushing, think again.

This is not just an automotive airbrushing introduction. Good information for any air-brusher. I shouldn't have been as surprised at the level of high quality information given on this video. Craig Fraser's techniques, and end results are always unsurpassed. And this is the best beginning video I have seen. If you can execute the exercises in this video your practically in the clear, and well on your way to total control of your paint. The last thing I must note is the Iwata airbrush break down, and cleaning segment. Craig has gone through this in detail, and you can tell he does this every day, and his brushes are in new condition when he is done. After years of daily cleaning and maintenance you can tell he has it streamlined. After airbrushing for a few years I found plenty of valuable information in this video. I think many others can too. And if your a beginner Craig makes it fun to learn. The exercises lead directly into little projects, and I think this video is just packed full of great things. If I could give it a higher rating I would. Arrivederci

This video is a must!! Even if you aren't a beginner. Craig goes through the total breakdown of airbrushes, and how to maintain them. This is crutial to their performance. He also takes you through some exercises that are intended to get you going. The trick is that he explains doing them as a warm up every day will increase your abilities. It WORKS! Best part of the video is that Craig lays everything out so that a 5 year old could truely understand everything.

Great introduction to airbrushing, he makes it look easy, but it probably is not. I liked the introduction to materials and paints and I liked the airbrush teardown and clean up. I recommend it.

Being a beginner in Airbrushing and needing to learn how to use an Iwata airbrush, followed by learning how to do flames, Craig Fraiser DVDs are at the top of my list. I have rented many DVDs and after my first try on a computer case doing skulls in flames everyone that seen it thought it was awesome! I never would have had a clue on how to do this without this DVD followed by others. This DVD has great how tos on tearing down the airbrush and how to reassemble it. Also a fantastic training course in how to use the airbrush. "Dagger strokes" or as some call them "rat tails" was one of my weaknesses that it helped me solve. I would truly advise this DVD for any beginner as myself. His other DVDs are also great keep them coming!
