Summary: Not what I was looking for
Review: I bought some books with Airbrush paintings a few years a go from a nearby half price books. I was always amazed at the quality of the paintings and got quite interested to learn how the technique works. I am not an artist myself, so I was not looking for a very detailed technical book, but detailed enough to explain someone like me how this great technique works. I hoped this book will be the key to my queries, but it wasn't. It does explain the technique, the tools and provides some samples, but I did not get the feeling that now I fully understand how Airbrush works. I also do not recommend this book if you want to learn to use paintbrush, it does not seem detailed enough for beginners. It may be useful if you already experienced this technique before using "hands on" and want some reference book for further exploration.
