Daniel, my Gnome came out beautifully. I got unbelievable compliments on my project Gnome. The addition of lifting the beard and mustache really stood out. It looked like the Gnome was alive. I would love to share it with you. I always shared my projects with Chuck. It allows the teacher to see where the student has taken his art. Plus I never used an airbrush before. Best regards, Richard

20:25 ".. now we can start painting it into the beard." Immediately goes to the hat. Gotta love the editor.

Loved the video, got one question. You mention using an aerosol sealer in between some layers, could you give an example of what kind of sealer you use?

Is it a basic cousre of airbrush that you can recommend, or that you have one already posted, I just came across this video which by the way it's excellent

Does airbrushing hold to the leather better than regular paint for leather?

It's been a long time since I've done flames, but I'll see if we can incorporate it into an upcoming project.

I have a leather motorcycle vest with an embossed image on the back. I've been wanting to paint it for quite a while now; like a WWII Bomber Jacket. I need a paint that I can airbrush and yet is also water/weather proof. I don't expect it to last forever without some fading/weather damage. Can you recommend a paint line for this?

@WeaverLeatherSupply 5 ай бұрын

We always recommend Angelus. It's made for leather and shoes, just make sure to prep the leather using Angelus Preparer and Deglazer.

I went ahead and gave you helpful video "Like" but, just to clarify, & from what I could see...your airbrush white looks quite opaque and not at all transparent. That having been said, great video overall. And I will be buying some Hermann Oak leather from Weaver in a few weeks! Great company!

@Rainbow420Vikki Жыл бұрын

how would you seal and protect this from outdoor elements if it was on a jacket or bag/holster? I'm having alot of issues with my paint just rubbing off with wear. I have no issues rubbing wax on the project no paint comes off then . Please help .

@DanielReachCreations Жыл бұрын

One of the next videos shows my process for sealing painted leather, although, rub off happens over time.

@jameslanning6876 Жыл бұрын

What paint are you using? Personally, I would go with createx airbrush paint. They've been making paint suitable for t shirts and artists for decades. Once heat set, literally machine washable.

@richardkatzman1215 2 ай бұрын

Angelus Direct has cover top coat for their acrylic airbrush paints. They now have; FLAT; MATTE; SATIN; GLOSS AND HIGH GLOSS with a Urethane built in that events scratching! I’ve used their High Gloss on belts and the results were magnificent! My customers were absolutely delighted with the results. I use Angelus airbrush paints exclusively. No sense looking for something better when you already are using it.

Looks great but why didn't you do anything with the nose it makes it look unfinished.

@@DanielReachCreations 🤣Glad I could make you chuckle. BTW, Thanks for the idea of orange and blue for brown, never thought of that. Usually just add black, but I think blue would give me better control for browns than just having a walnut type color.

@DanielReachCreations Жыл бұрын

@yamaha biker It definitely did! Happy to help. Adding black to a color only makes it a darker version of what you already have. Shifting to a different color means you have to introduce a new color. Wow...how many times can you say color in one reply. 😆
