thank you kind sir .. i didn't stop by for 'the art' .. stopped by to watch you handle an airbrush ( again ) .. trying to key in on techniques , for instance .. the way you blow paint onto a side panel before hitting the canvas .. or your maneuvers over it .. the reasoning feeds me .. small instances that can improve mine ... keep it up .. ( cause 'we' ain't done ! ...
Thanks buddy! I hope to help a few.. I certainly ain't close to done, as I'm remodeling and busy on comissions right now I'm a bit slow updating.. however this year we will be taking RUclips more serious. 🙂
Great tutorial man. Just started in airbrush art. Only picked up a stick brush in May of 2019 when my wife developed cancer and all I could do is watch her suffer through chemo. Watched all 31 seasons of the "Man" himself. Picked up a brush and viola...after 35 or so oils, 25 or more acrylics, I wanted to try my hand @ airbrush art. Finished a couple so far...eh not great yet, but I will keep trying. Thanx again Bill.
Thank you! I hope your wife is well! Cancer sucks. My parents both died of cancer and I have a grandbaby with leukemia! Best wishes on your new art journey!
Wow, thank you. You explained it perfectly and simple as an airbrush artist demonstrating how to paint a galaxy. Where was this video two weeks ago when I needed it?
Well unfortunately I didn't start painting it til after midnight last night 😂. So yeah painted video uploaded and ready for youtube in about 3.5 hours . Although I should have spent a few more minutes editing some dead space in the beginning 🙂
i am fairly new to your channel and i am enjoying it. You do a very good job laying groundwork and teaching for us newbies. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thank you Thea! From the day I decided to youtube.. i knew I wanted to not focus on quick and flashy videos to get more likes. I set out to help folks, and while I hope I get better at making videos as time goes on. I still plan on MOST of my videos giving a reasonable amount of info. If you go back to my older ones.. i gave out tons of information, but it seems most will not sit through an hour long video :) Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
Before I begin, I just wanted to wish a Merry Christmas and Happy new year! Your blessed with talent and I really love these amazing tutorials, which helped me improve my skills. I would really appreciate if you do tutorial on the dagger stroke, using a french curve and a pin up girl scene please!
i can go over the dagger stroke again im certain :) PIN UPS@ ok great idea! im going to put that on my white board before I forget :) Thank you very much! And Merry Christmas to you as well!
the trigger brush was a gsi creos ps 290 The other one I believe was an iwata eclipse.. I have a bunch of different airbrushes. hard to remember at times :)
What type of canvas did you spray onto? and where is it available? Or is there a more forgiving option for students who are new to airbrushing? Thanks for your help your videos are awesome!
this i believe was just black paint on a piece of hardboard panel. I like cheap posterboard for tutorials occasionally.. things I wont plan to keep but want to look pretty good anyway. But the black posterboard sucks the life out of the paint a bit .. I mention that on the bubble tutorial on black posterboard i have. But white posterboard can be shiney or matte. For general practice a large roll of kids "art" paper served me very well. But one of the things about airbrushing, it can cover such a huge variety of surfaces from canvas to cars to walls to clothing.
This looks fantastic. I am planning to do something similar on the surface of a custom space theme pinball machine that I am working on. I realize I will need to practice some more but am in the process of picking my colors. I think you are mostly using transparent colors but do you also use opaque colors for the white and cobalt blue. Please let me know which colors were opaque. Thanks
tough to say which were opaques in this.. some blue and some red for certain. i could do it either way. And id have to watch the video again to remind myself. I switch up techniques a lot. Thats intentional in videos also.. this give people the opportunity to try multiple styles and techniques and use what they like best. " In my case I use a mixture of opaques a lot with transparent tinting. BUT the fastest way for me is using all transparents.. ith that said transparents are a touch harder to control. Thank you and GO FOR IT!
all of the above.. well actually I never use a brush on airbrushed paintings. I do a ton of canvas and sometimes use spray can actual varnish. panels.. well depends on my plans for them. some get real 2k clear. some may get a spray can clear if its just cheap and quick indoor art. and some get acrylic clearcoats
@@TheAIRspace Thank you for the reply. I recently varnished an airbrushed water based illustration board with a 0.5mm airbrush and the finish was pebbly and needed wetsanding with fine grit sandpaper. Prior to varnishing, I applied Createx Transparent Base as an intercoat layer and let it sit for a couple of days beforehand. I used Golden UVLS acrylic polymer varnish diluted with water sprayed at about 20-25psi. I'm looking for an alternative to varnishing airbrushed acrylic waterbased canvases without using an airbrush due to the pebbly textured result I got nor use a foam brush since that reactivated and smeared some colors on a test sample canvas. I may consider trying a varnish spray in a can.
@@vanquishstorm3806 yeah if you cant get the clear to "wet" out its gonna be hard to get a gloss. a regular airbrush is just too small to clear an entire panel. I use a creos ps290 with waterbased clears on some things.. I have a review on it as well. Its sort of a high powered airbrush with a fan cap.
@@TheAIRspace I figured with more practice I may be able to reduce/eliminate the pebbly surface texture by spraying closer to the surface and applying the varnish on more heavier with a 50/50 overlap just till it dosent run but it's still a chore since the spray pattern is narrow and having to cover a large surface. It took quite a bit of coats of wet sanding to make the finish look somewhat acceptable. I was looking into the Grex Tritium which has a fan cap but its pricey, I'll look into your review of the Creos. Thanks again.
its a piece of magnetic dry erase board. which behind that is a large fileter and fan system to take the air out.. although im not sure I used a magnet on this?

Great space scene! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!!
Thank you very much for sharing this technique.
The control you have over the airbrush is amazing
Makes me realize how much more practice i need.
I do ok 🙂. But it's all time with a brush 😀

What airbrush are you using?
the trigger brush was a gsi creos ps 290
The other one I believe was an iwata eclipse.. I have a bunch of different airbrushes. hard to remember at times :)
What is that piece of paper you are using as a stencil at 12:40? I haven't seen anything like that before.
That is a texture stencil, the particular one at that mark was made by hammair, he has a shopify account. you can also find him on facebook.
What type of canvas did you spray onto? and where is it available? Or is there a more forgiving option for students who are new to airbrushing? Thanks for your help your videos are awesome!

@@TheAIRspace Thanks for the information, I will give it a try.
@@GF-ok5yn definitely you got this!
Real gentle,,, SPlatt! 😂
Bill
you make this seem so easy i just this and it looks like a 3rd grader did it lol
If it looks bad it just means you are not done. Stop, analyze. See what you feel looks bad. Adjust move forward and look again 🙂
Excellent outer space scene, how do you go about varnishing the completed piece? Applying with an airbrush, mini-spray gun, brush, spray can varnish?
all of the above.. well actually I never use a brush on airbrushed paintings.
I do a ton of canvas and sometimes use spray can actual varnish. panels.. well depends on my plans for them. some get real 2k clear. some may get a spray can clear if its just cheap and quick indoor art. and some get acrylic clearcoats

what are you using for a easel for a magnet to stick to it?
its a piece of magnetic dry erase board. which behind that is a large fileter and fan system to take the air out.. although im not sure I used a magnet on this?
You didnt.use a magnet on this video i noticed it on your other videos i just commented on this video
@@stephencollums6826 its definitely handy when im using thinner smooth items. i have some powerful magnets with handles on them. :)
Great, but those bastard Ads all the time. 😂
i dont set the ads.. I just have it on auto and youtube decides where to put them :) I can take them off.. but well its not like I get much as is :) They do have youtube premium if you wanna pay for an ad free experience :)
thats crap
well i guess thanks for your opinion :)
it's as bad as if you've only been doing it for two weeks. And more art education is needed
well thanks for your opinion :)
@@TheAIRspace I hope for your progress as an artist. You can't give such imprecise concepts to new students.
