holy crap, I have watched a million air brush videos on youtube trying to get better, and not one I had watched mentioned tip #2, keep the airflow constant, makes total sense and was an ah-ha moment for me, thank you sir

This was worth watching for the color wheel part alone! I didn't understand how it worked before. Great tips all around. Thank you!

That’s a great video Mick. It’s a really good advertisement for your subscription service as well as being fantastic advice for people in general.

Great Video. Especially your last tip warms my heart!

I just purchased my second aribrush set from amazon for $70 all together and I never realized I was so good at using an airbrush for painting on paper. To calrify: I bought a Testors airbrush that attached to a can of compressed air and used it primarily to paint model cars so I could use any acrylic paint that I found at discount stores, which works when properly thinned. I also used to draw quite a bit in my youth and all but stopped since graduating university. I purchased a new system online so I could use Spectra Color brand paints , which are airbrush only, because I love the color pallet they have. I am now painting scale 1:18 model kits of old era vehicles with Spectra Flame, recreating Matchbox Cars from the 1960's and the 1970's era. I am not sure if I can pull off a Robin Williams, but I do know that I can give The Dark Knight one hell of a go!

Thanks for that color wheel tip, I always just add gray to tone down my paint color and always get mixed results. This should help a lot

wow, you definitely got master level skills... amazing

Ive been a member for a while now to his sub service. This video here is very worth the view. Color theory and Finishing the piece were especially good for me.Thanks

Excellent and highly instructional Mick Many thanks

great clear explanations, and awesome basics for all levels. Well done. Thanks!

Excellent! Thank you!

This was great to see I've had all these problems only been airbrushing about a year so very early days using a cheap £20 airbrush but now have a iwata £130 and it's so much better and yes I kept stopping the air every past n spitting paint all the time 😡but once you get it right it feels great. I've subscribed 👍

Great tips . Always good to watch your work on KZfaq. Feel the force.

I have just started airbrushing in this second lockdown and am loving it. PS I am a disabled 57 year old and painting has saved my sanity. Thanks for your help!!

Superb! Very very very good video ! Great! Greetings from Zagreb / Croatia

Great tips! Thank you! 🙌🏻

Nice vid mick nice to hear this stuff again

Thank you for the tips and I love everything you said on the last part on your tips.

Great vid,good reminders mick 👍

Very good video - sound advice - good hints.

Excellent video! I keep a toothbrush in a glass of water mixed with airbrush cleaner for cleaning the tip, quick and easy.

I've been airbrushing for years now and never once did I think to clean the needle with a q tip to remove tip dry... great video!

Explained very well and clearly. That should help every airbrusher. thanks for that

I'm doing models, i.e. aircraft etc. But this was an enlightening video. Thank you very much.

Great refresher for me with the tips and can't wait for the airbrush show videos. At the end of erasing you summed up where I am, need to do more free hand, need to stop shying away from colour and get the colour wheel out more. Thanks for the push in the right direction

I haven’t done any airbrushing yet, but am thinking about it. This is one of the best videos I have seen for tips. New subscriber.

I learned what a Q tip is in the UK I had to keep backing up and listening but being in the USA I never knew what a cotton bud was until today. Oh and by the way great video. You are the best source for airbrush technique and inspiration I have ever had the privilege to watch. There is no close second place

Just ordered an air brush kit, great tips will be having a look at joining your site when they all arrive.

great advise, and my inner child has a good laugh so all round great video

Thank you very much for your video....I'm new at this Cheers

Great info mick🇨🇮

Great great content!!! Keep the awesome info coming 🤙🏻

Thanks for rhis video, I can't wait to try some of these techniques.

Will definitely be signing up for your new website

Can't wait for the end of summer for the airbrush show buddy looking forward to that

Great tips, thanks alot

Super helpful videos 🫶 thank you!

I really enjoyed this video. I just got an airbrush for Christmas to use on hand carved birds and these tips will be quite useful. Additionally the color isolation technique will also help my brushwork and I’m excited to implement that to my work!! Thank you for this video!!

Very useful. Thanks!!

thanks for the great tips

Stumbled on this just searching for those little extra tips. & Aha !! Many thanks Mick, I picked up a lot. Beneficial for me was, Right understanding ! I mean I was a Contract Draughtsman based in Brum-30 yr worked all across from Wolv'h , Dudley, Cradley Heath Halesowen & so on, Listening to your speech & dialect, was like being at home !Thanks so much. Kind Regards.

Really big help. Thanks.

Thank you for the helpful tips 👍

Great tutorial...very helpful tips! I've always been frustrated with airbrush performance not realizing that it was mostly due to "tip dry". Thank you!!

Great video. I'm about to start airbrushing but I'm not sure I will be trying to mix my own colors... Yet. The tip about tip drying I will definitely watch out for

During Tip #2 I thought it was interesting to see how you held the airbrush with both hands. I guess that could have been a tip all by itself :) Thank you for such a great video.

Thank you so much for all of the tips you have given...I really appreciate the Information and detailed explanation of it all.... God Bless

Cheers mate, learned a lot x

Great!

Thank you so much. This was a perfect tutorial. The color theory part was invaluable. Although I went to art school, I still had a hard time understanding the saturation process....you explained it perfectly. I am definitely subscribing.

Excellent video!! You are a great teacher!! I am thinking of buying an airbrush and this video was very good information. At first I wanted an airbrush just to blow inks and watercolor. Now I am thinking of using it to paint instead and in addition to a brush. Which airbrush/airbrush system would you recommend?? Thank you I will be looking forward to seeing more videos with you.

I'm still learning 🙁 and I love a challenge love it thank you for sharing. 🤗

Great video great information

Totally agree with he last two comments - LIGHTBULB !!!! Thank you

Master Jedi thank you. +1 subscriber

This was brilliant!! Thank you sir!

Just wondering Sir, How long exactly have you been Airbrushing? (...Your work is of "photographic" perfection!)

Plz don’t stop making these videos they are very helpful

thank you so much

Some tutorials are rubbish...others.OK..others good...this one is AAAAAAAA++++++++++...excellent...no BS

Fantastic, thank you.

I’m a amateur airbrush artist and sometimes it just seems I can’t get anything to work if it’s not the paint flow it’s the air pressure if not that I get a clog but your videos are amazing I love all your instructions ! you make it look so easy like when you did the VALEK painting of the evil nun that was amazing what advice would you give to a struggling airbrush artist ! Thank you for your time Forever your student Marc ( aka EL PADRE PAINTINGS)

Great video and tips Mick well done 👌🏻👍🏻

Great video mate.

Great video

Awesome 👏

Very good points

Great info 👍

Excellent! Very useful, thank you. Where can I follow to find out about “The Tour” please?

so i’m setting up a workbench like you have for airbrushing. what do you use for lighting? it looks nice and bright

Great vid. Are you at another premises doing lessons. 👍🏻

That chart blew my mind! I typically use Vallejo paints would they work, more or less, with a chart like that? Also, where can one find that chart (to print for my studio)?

Hi, I'm about to start my airbrush journey and using a basic Airbrush unit to see if ai take to it (Timbertech ABPSTO6 with the Compressor Piston). Amazing work by the way.. My questions are, 1)How do you clean your airbrush out before adding a new paint colour. 2)The Wheel that you show, do all airbrush paint suppliers have a wheel of colour? If so how do you get it, I'd asume from their website. 4)If you have to release the air, would you hit a rubbish side piece first and then go to your work? (Like the sheet next to your work you hit with paint, and then paint. 5)How do you make those stencils you use (like the Death in the woods one, where you hit it with white to show cloud fornation)? 6)Is there a site to get those stencils or is it easier to make your own? Thank you in Kind. 7)If using AcrylicPaint, do you start dark or light in your colour. So do you paint like oils on canvas or water colour to water paper principles. Love your work.. Adie UK, Doncaster.

very good to explain

Cheers!

Great advice thanks After painting on canvas do you spray a varnish or sealant on ? If so what & how ?

Hey Mick.. thanks for sharing your knowledge. Just hit the subscribe botton and left a like. Please keep making these kind of videos. Could you tell me what type of airbrush you are using there and what kind/size of nozzle it has? Thx in advance and b rgrds Cheers mate!

Thank You for Your Help an Time Mick I like the keeping the air on !

Buenas tardes cuando paint un wolf felicidades pinta muy bien adios

Nice work

Hi! Where can i find that filters in the wall? I'm looking for them for my airbrush booth and can't find them anywhere. Could you say me the name? Thanks for your videos, learning a lot from you.

Great tips Mick, I have the Airbrush series colour wheels and after a few hard weeks, I began to get the hang of my colours. I did an eagle head and splattered a great blob of paint onto it, but I kept going and it turned out to be one of the best feathers in the painting. Thanks for the tips.

Good Morning Mick I have signed up for the online course. How do I download the workbook and other downloads. Also I can't seem to find any new videos, it says you put new videos up weekly, am I looking in the right area? I think so far your videos are very thorough, and I am enjoying them. Thanks Cliff

Oh, and what erasers do you use? The pencil and pen ones? I'd assume there acrylic ones if using acrylic? Thanks Adie UK, Doncaster

Hi Mick as a first timer to the world of airbrushing can you recommend a setup, compressor and airbrush wise as there are so many out there, I’m starting out on model aircraft

This video has given me so much extra knowledge, thank you! I never knew there are erasers for airbrushing 😂 Can you recommend one that would work on airbrushed plastic miniatures? Thanks

I just wondered Mick, are you still doing the physical classes for 2020?

Sr im from phillipines im your pans what kind of airbrush brand ah nice to choose

Hi Mick, is your colour tone wheel available for purchase?

Many thanks for the pointers, mate. Mind if I ask about the air filters on the background? Is it aesthetic? Function?

How many water separators do you use? Can you eliminate all the moisture that gets in the line? Great video and very informative! Thanks for sharing.

Robin

Hi 8m still new to airbrushing i manly do 1/35 scale but with the colour wheel I understand the way you say it. I just wish there was someone near me who could teach me the basics watching videos is ok but there’s no one saying yes that’s right or no hang on let’s take another look at it. But thanks

Smaller compressor owner here. Running the air all the time just isn't practical, so I've found a good technique is to always do the following sequence: Air on, paint on, paint off, air off. Basically, don't just release the trigger when you're done with a stroke, make sure the trigger is all the way forward before stopping the air.

i find flow improver works well to reduce tip dry.

Is it normal for compressor to drop from initial bar settings ? For example, before spraying I set it on 20 - and right when I press the air action, it drops to 10-12 and stays on it. Is this normal behavior ?

your compressor is so quiet! which do you use?

Which airbrush are you using in the video?
