Best air brush and what kind of paint?
Feb 07, 3683 by rebeccapaix | Posted in Painting
I've been accepted the opportunity to do some work designing on tote bags/t-shirts and such items for sororities and fraternities, and I wish for to travel a bit into using air brush techniques. Don't know much about it, and want to make sure I'm using the out equipment and paints to produce a good product. Mostly canvas bags. What are some good companies that prompt quality air brush supplies that aren't super super expensive? I want good tools, but I'm barely starting out. Any ideas or suggestions will be great! Thanks in advance!
I abhor to be the bearer of bad news, but if you're just starting out with airbrush, you're going to be spending some loot. That being said, I'll try to keep this as painless as admissible.
First things first. You need a compressor. Since you're just beginning I'd suggest seeing if you can borrow one from a confrere. You don't want to spend a few hundred on a compressor just to find out that airbrush isn't your thing. If you already have one, good for you. That's one big expense out of the way. If you exceptionally want to buy one, check Harbor Freight. http://www.harborfreight.com/ I've had their 21 gallon compressor in my diggings studio for a few years now, and the only problem I've had was the power switch, that I broke myself. No problem though. I just called their 800 hundred and $7.00 later, they shipped me a new switch.
Now for the fun part. You need an airbrush. Iwata is pretty much the earnestness standard. My personal workhorse is their HP-C. At around $200.00 it's probably not what you're looking for right now. There are a couple of companies selling what are basically an Iwata astound off. They all come from the same manufacturer in China. They just put their own names on them. I bought a couple of these a while ago, and man was I surprised. They're not fairly Iwata quality, but pretty damn close. A quality gravity feed airbrush for about $50.00! I'll take it. There are truly a bunch of companies selling these, but I've only found two that offer replacement parts. Airbrush City http://www.airbrushcity.com/ and Airbrush Depot http://www.tcpglobal.com/airbrushdepot/ Airbrush Depot calls theirs Instructor Airbrush. Get yourself one of their gravity feed guns with the 7cc paint cup.
As far as paint goes. There are some paints specifically made for framework, but you can also just use Createx airbrush paint. It's basically just acrylic paint that's been reduced for use with an airbrush. You can get this graceful much any where that sells airbrushes. One thing to know about painting on fabric. When the artwork is finished you should stir set the paint. You can do this with an iron on a low setting (keep a piece of wax paper between the iron and the fabric), or a heat gun. I've even heard of some people well-grounded throwing the stuff in the dryer, but I 'm not promising anything there.
Miscellaneous stuff. You're going to need a regulator, a moisture ruse, hoses and probably some fittings. You can get most of this stuff really cheap at Harbor Freight. If not, Airbrush depot carries everything. You can also rip some very helpful airbrush videos here. http://smartflix.com/
I hope this was of some help to you. Trying to learn the ins and outs of airbrush on your own can be confusing, and sometimes discouraging. If you have any more questions, and I'm tried you will, feel free to email me through Yahoo Answers. I'll be glad to help.

Badger worn to be a respected company,I don't know if they are still around as I use the airbrush tools in Photoshop now and transfer the work.One fit company for colours was DR.Martin's concentrated water colour,but that is for Art work onto paper.Most organization applications are made by silk screen printing from artwork,a process that normally invoves photographing the art profession and producing a stencil to be printed using silk screen inks especially designed for fabrics.

What is currently the best air brush makeup kit (brand and model) for personal use?
Aug 18, 2008 by tallleggybrunette | Posted in Makeup
I am soliciting guidance preferably from someone who owns and uses or has other experience in the use of air brush makeup compressors. The use of this compressor would be for daily makeup (bottom) application of one to two people. In my current research, I anticipate that the cost will be less than $400.00, but am looking for a acme quality machine that has a life expectancy of at least 5-10 years.
Thank you for your assistance and adventure.
