I'm 72 years old. I'd love to be the Grandma Moses of airbrush painting! I live within the most incredible national parks in the contiguous United States: Zion, Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef with the Grand Canyon North Rim just a few hours away. Southern Utah has some of the most spectacular geology and state and federal parks in the world--absolutely world class. I want to paint them in such a way as to do them the justice they deserve. Thank you so much for helping me start on this journey, Paul!

Brilliant for me being a beginner, thank you

Wow, wow, wow!!! Thank you Paul, this was the best learning tutorial for us beginners! I'm an acrylic artist and I want to incorporate airbrushing, regular acrylic painting, and acrylic fluid art pouring into one artform, a type of acrylic air pouring! :>D I watched the entire video, so. now I'm going back and I'm going to go through it all again, and follow along with each step and do exactly as you explain in the vid. Once again, thank you so much Paul, for taking your time and explaining this slowly so we can really figure this new journey out!

Thank you for the best beginner's guide on Airbrushing! I've been looking at quite a few And yours is the most informative, well presented and practical. Thanks

[Jonston]

Let me just say, this was incredibly helpful. Very thorough, extremely "dummy" friendly, and could be a full master class somewhere. Also, being a lefty myself, I had to sub because the cool cats need to stick together. Thank you sir.

Good video! Sometimes when we make a slight mistake it helps the Newbie (me!) assemble the unit and know how its supposed to be correctly disassembled and put back into action.

Wonderful video...for me, 70 years old, a traditional painter who uses actual brushes in oils! I recently got talked into getting a good air brush set, and have been wondering, how do I use this thing? This marvelous video has taught me how to get started. THANK YOU! I've subscribed and liked! Now I know how to get going with this new medium. I'll keep on with your videos, and see where this takes me. Many thanks!

Very informative! Thanks for explaining everything in detail. Greatly appreciated. New to this, but you have put my mind at ease ! Well done. Thanks.

This is the best air brush how to Channel I have seen so far. I wish the Channel was avaliable ten years ago. The air brush Channel fully explains the use, the cleaning, how to mix the paint, and the important of filtering your air brush paint. I was very impressed the detail was explained. Good job on your part.
Infack, the Channel should be shown at a art class. Mike

Great video. I am new to the airbrush ( but not model painting) and it was a very helpful video for someone who knows a little bit about paints but really wants more info for more diy paint works.

Finally bit the bullet after 30 odd years of painting. Just a quick thank you for such an informative and helpful video.

Great tutorial! The idea of practicing using water is great. I bought a large paint spray gun too and was a bit nervous to try that with paint, but no problem with water to get comfortable.
