Hi Peeps,
At the same time Madbrush was making his fantastic Rotating Magnetic Easel, I'd also been thinking of ways to easily rotate my artwork while I am working. This only works if you have a magnetic backboard like my magnetic white board.
The reason being that when I use my Top Feed Micron with a few drops of paint, the paint falls away from the head when I point it upwards. So to combat this I want to turn my artwork so I can spray from the side and keep my airbrush level.
Today I tried a very, very simple method of taping magnets to the back of my Card/Board in a central position forming an axis on which it is very easy to turn the whole painting with one finger. If you paint onto paper you can stick the magnets onto a sheet of card/board and then tape the paper to that.
This is my 4G Board with magnets taped to the back in a central formation.
Here is the 4G from the front and I can turn it with one finger. This painting is only 13 x 18cm but I'm sure it will work for bigger formats.
I thought I'd pass this idea on incase someone else might find it useful
For those who haven't seen Madbrush's fabulous Rotating Magnetic Easel here's the link http://www.airbrushforum.org/threads/home-made-magnetic-easel.10844/#post-150242
