Hey fellow paint slingers!
Artist here from upstate NY, new to spitting paint through a brush.
I am a glass engraver, drill, etch, etc. And I started with airbrushing as a way of coloring my engravings, and immediately got hooked. I have watched every airbrush tutor and bloodshot airbrushing vid I can on YouTube, as well as a few other channels. I have a good understanding of the equipment, but being as I am completely self taught, my progress seems very slow.
I currently run 3 brushes, an Iwata Eclipse C, Neo for Iwata, and a cheap Masters .2 mil MAC detail brush. I run them all off my California Air compressor, usually around 30 PSI, though I play with pressure from time to time, I don't have a great understanding of it's effects, other than slinging more paint... Speaking of paint, I have some Createx textiles airbrush paint, which gave me a really hard time, and was the first brand of paint I got, then I tried Aztec from my local hobby store, which was surprisingly worse, but 8n a different way...then I got a 5 bottle set of illustration from Createx and I got some comart from my brush purchases, both of which work better than the other brands I've tried.
I live automotive, and eventually I'd love to get into painting bikes and cars, but I also live blasting glass, as well as just slinging paint onto canvas or my sketchpad. Anyway, after visiting the forum, I decided I needed to join, the members here seem very helpful, and so skilled to where I'm at, I hope to learn a lot here, and contribute as I grow as well.
Greetings from the ADK's!
