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 -
- Airbrush
- Airbrush station
- Air compressor
- 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. 🙃
