Publisher's Note What's the biggest breakthrough for decorative painters since acrylic paint? The airbrush! It's easy to use, easy to learn, inexpensive...and it opens up a whole new range of exciting effects you can use in your painting projects. The 11 step-by-step projects in this book will teach you the essentials of airbrushing - including how to use stencils, airbrush basic shapes and shading, and create faux finishes. The projects were designed for the crafter or decorative painter, and include a variety of surfaces, from painting ivy leaves on wood with a pre-cut stencil to faux marbling on a plaster cast.
Industry Reviews Technical advances in equipment and readily available sources of compressed air have made airbrush painting a more practical craft for hobbyists than it used to be. This guide for beginners is very detailed, with practice exercises and 11 step-by-step projects for decorating wood, ceramic, and metal items using stencils, cutouts, and other patterns. It is a better guide for the home craftsperson than David Miller and Diana Martin's Getting Started in Airbrush (LJ 11/1/95), which emphasizes professional work. Adil
