DIY Small Air Compressor With Active Cooling
You might say “Another DIY Compressor?” – but it’s not just the same thing. Usually if you make one yourself it will take some space at your work place and using this space in your home premises is just out of question. This is actually the reason this fella has been build. Well we all know that compressor without tank wouldn’t take much space but what if we want to have a tank anyway? Air tank in combination with regulator is giving so much pros comparing to compressor without it that any professional will tell you that he will go for the compressor with tank only. Author of this build has started with the schema. We will not go into deep details – what and how exactly and why it was done because I have written about this before. If you need some more details I recommend you to read diy air compressor or silent diy compressor.
5 Ways to Fix Bent Airbrush Needle
Yes, we’ve all been there. Bent needle is the most common problem for all airbrush artists. Usually the nozzle cap should protect the needle and the nozzle tip but most of us love to work without the cap as it allows us to do better fine art. If you search on Internet for “How to fix bent needle” you will find a lot of material about that because this is very popular topic in lines of airbrush artist, especially on the tight budget.
How Much do Airbrush Artists Make?
Every beginner or even advanced artist doing airbrush has heard this question: “How Much?“. What I mean is that every time when you paint for someone, if it’s just a friendly favor or part of your business, it requires some background finances which you should include in your bill. It does depend on art-work dimensions. If you do something for you friend on A4 size paper I’ll bet you won’t dare to ask money but if you do a car you should acknowledge your client, even if it’s your friend, that it might cost something. After questions like “What to Paint?” and “Where to Paint?“, you have to tell your customer exactly why and for what he is going to pay apart of art.
“How to Airbrush” from AirbrushTutor
This is a kind of short bio from one awesome guy. In the Internet spheres he is known as “Airbrush Tutor“. Why Tutor? His specialties are video tutorials for airbrush beginners. His videos are so cool that I decided to introduce him to all my readers as I don’t post much guides for airbrush techniques and this is probably something that this blog is missing. Video tutorials are one of the most popular forms of teaching airbrush, so I think we all will profit from subscribing to AirbrushTutor YouTube channel. So let’s read his story. I first got into airbrushing when I was just 16 years old – at a car show I saw that there was a course teaching airbrushing in Sydney (Australia). The artworks looked amazing and it interested me because I couldn’t understand how people could paint such perfect pictures?! I began learning.
DIY Compressor by Albastrelu Viorel
Just a few weeks ago I received a question from one of my Facebook follower asking me if I can share his work with my audience. He has build his own “DIY” air compressor. The nice thing about it is that the compressor was build by following my tutorial called “Silent Compressor” which I’ve published some time ago. To be honest I could not wait to see it! Viorel describes this project a little bit below here – why he did it, what material did he use and what was the cost.
Preparing Surfaces For Airbrush – Part 2
As you may have noticed before when I wrote about surface preparation for airbrush I’ve added “part 1” into the title, so you may have expected it to continue. Last time it was about airbrush on metal surface. Today you’ll see how to prepare wood for airbrushing. In matter of quality you need to seal the wood otherwise the paint will quickly discolor. If you want the grain to show you can use a clear sealer. If you require a flat, colored surface consider to use Gesso. It has been used for centuries as a painting base for a huge variety of mediums and has been proven as best by time. It is very comfortable to airbrush on.
I Want to Do Airbrush. Where Do I Start?
“First say to yourself what you want to be; and then do what you have to do“. Epictetus. Tweet This! Sometimes I find a blog or forum entry where people are talking about airbrush in many different ways. One will tell that it is a good thing to spend your time on and another will try to convince you that it’s a perfect way to make money. After reading many of these articles I got a strange feeling of the main purpose of this whole thing called AIRBRUSH. It doesn’t matter if you just want to try it out or you manage to make money out of it already, the most important thing is that you do it because it is your hobby and you love your hobby. So, when you are going to start airbrushing, no matter what the reasons are, you have to ask yourself a question: I Want to Do Airbrush, Where Do I Start? Lets face it, airbrush for many of us is far from a profession (there is no university where you get a diploma), it is more like hobby where clever people manage to make an additional income. Additional in case that you have a day job already. Be honest, do you like your day job?
Badger Renegade Airbrush Review
I would place Badger Airbrush in top ten best airbrush brands of the world, well at least from what I’ve heard about this brand. But I have never tried or even seen one for real – until now. When I’ve got the opportunity I knew that another review in my “airbrush reviews” category will follow very soon. And I’m pleased that I got something like Badger Renegade line of quality airbrushes in my hands. Badger’s website informs us that this line is especially for “the proven elite artist“. So, let’s see if they are right. As I looked on the web I found some info about them and some reviews as well and one of them was from modeler who claimed, that “they are dead wrong and that these airbrushes are only for the modelers, no matter what skill level they at, but who wants a quality, double action airbrush and for reasonable price“.
