The Craft & Hobby Airbrush Book

Rating:
Summary: Airbrushing for the rest of us (non-artist airbrush novices)
Review: Most airbrushing books provide a few terse pages on the "tools of the trade" and then dive into examples of technique and application. The airbrush novice is left wondering why he or she can't even get the tool operating properly, let alone create something beautiful. This book devotes about half of its content to help the reader understand how the airbrush works, accessories required for their use, details on how paints and pigmentation work, tips on airbrush usage, and maintenance techniques. A wide variety of painting techniques and applications follow. The book closes with a short but effective troubleshooting section. This may not be the only book you'll buy on airbrushing, but it should be the first.
