The Airbrush is one of the most diverse tools around. In the hands of an artist, it can produce amazing images. If you have artistic talent and a steady hand and you are willing to dedicate some time to developing your skills, airbrushing can be immensely rewarding.

Q: What is an airbrush?
A: An airbrush is a small, air-operated tool that sprays fluid (paint, ink, dye, stain, glaze, etc.). It resembles, and is held like, a pen. It applies paint through a process known as atomization.

Q: What's atomization?
A: An airbrush takes a fluid and turns it into a directed airborne mist. You can think of it as a sophisticated perfume atomizer or as a controllable spray paint can.

Q: How does an airbrush work?
A: The airbrush must be attached to an air source to spray. Airbrushes have two systems that must work together to function properly. The air system provides energy for the atomization of the fluid. The fluid system delivers the paint to the tip of the airbrush to be atomized and sprayed onto a surface.

Q: What types of surfaces can be worked on?
A: All surfaces can be airbrushed: paper, canvas, plastic, metal, glass, License plates, wood, fingernails, leather, skin, etc. You can even airbrush a deep, dark suntan. The key is to insure the proper preparation of the surface prior to spraying and its compatibility with the sprayed material.

Q: What kinds of paint can I use with the airbrush?
A: Most paints: acrylics, watercolors, automotive paints, enamels, alkyds, etc., are sprayable as long as they are thinned to a consistency, like light cream, that enables them to flow easily through the airbrush. However, if you're just learning how to paint with an airbrush consider buying airbrush-ready paints. With premixed paints, you can focus on improving your technique rather than worrying about whether or not your paint is going to clog the airbrush.

Q: What kinds of images can be produced with an airbrush?
A: An artist can produce any kind of image that he or she can with a brush. The big difference is that by spraying the color, you have the ability to make sharp, crisp lines as well as amazing soft fades, blends and shadows not possible with a bristle brush.

Q: "But I can't draw a straight line. How can I get good results as a beginner?"
A: There are many tricks, textures, and special effects you will learn as you go along. You can learn these through classes, books, videos, instructional websites (such as http://airbrushtricks.com/) or working with other airbrush artists. Many professional artists use a combination of stencils and common items such as cotton batting or feathers - to achieve the effects that they want. You can make your own stencils or use ready-cut stencils for consistent and professional results.

Q: Is there a way to project an image onto a surface as a guide?
A:Yes. There a number of Image Projectors on the market that can come in handy, especially when doing large images such as signs and murals. Also, Light Boxes work well when transfering an image from the original to a transparency film to be projected.
