Airbrush Trauma

in #hive-15869413 days ago

I have come to share my tale of airbrush woe with all of you that ends in a happily ever after! 👸 🎨

This is my original piece I like to call 'Trial and Error'

I started with everything I thought I needed -

  1. Airbrush
  2. Airbrush station
  3. Air compressor
  4. Airbrush paint.

Well, it turned out I should have educated myself better with youtube videos about airbrushing...

I needed airbrush cleaner as well as a cleaning station and some cleaning utencils and brushes.

AND NO YOU DONT NEED TO THOROUGHLY CLEAN YOUR AIRBRUSH EVERYTIME.. I found this out the hard way, but I can now say I can pull apart and put back together an airbrush pretty quick. 🥷

Anyway I luckily have a great man who suggested I ask an airbrush group on Facebook. He knows I procrastinate and asked the group for me why my airbrush might be continuously clogging.

The answer friends is I was using the dang dual airbrush wrong.😑

Apparently, a very common mistake, but I'm glad it got figured out as I was close to chucking this new hobby out the window.

If you are interested in learning how to use your dual airbrush, I suggest this video.

In between all of this I 3D printed some stencils.

This is how my first actual try of airbrushing properly turned out, and I am not incredibly dissapointed. 🙃
