OK....
I've had an airbrush since last July, but haven't had the compressor to use it. For Christmas, I finally got a compressor....
Now- I just need to figure out what I am doing. I sat down today with it for awhile and figured out I am pretty clueless...
Here's what I have and what I need to know....
Paasche VL (double action, internal mix)
Husky air compressor
Createx Opaque colors- red, yellow & blue
Black indian ink
I also have assorted cheap acrylic paints in the closet somewhere if I can figure out how to use em....
Here's my problem- What kind of mixture do I want? How much paint/water should I be using.... Or ink/water?
What kind of paint should I look for when getting more?
How much practice does it take to get the hang of this thing?
I just feel clueless right now.... I did paint some pretty cool dragonflies today on watercolor paper... BUT I think my mixture was very watery....
