Airbrush Technique




Airbrush Technique is the freehand manipulation of the airbrush, medium, air pressure and distance from the surface being sprayed in order to produce a certain predictable result on a consistent basis with or without shields or stencils. Airbrush technique will differ depending upon the Type Of Airbrush Being Used , single action or double action.


DOUBLE ACTION AIRBRUSH TECHNIQUE


Proper double action airbrush technique involves depressing the trigger on the top of the airbrush with the index finger to release air only, and drawing it back gradually to the paint release threshhold. The most important procedural dynamic is to always begin with air only and end with air only. By observing this rule, precise control of paint volume and line width and character can be achieved. The single most important airbrush stroke consistently utilized by professionals is the dagger stroke.


SINGLE ACTION AIRBRUSH TECHNIQUE


Single action airbrush technique derives its name from the fact that only 1 action is required for operation. The single action of depressing the trigger releases a fixed ratio of paint to air.
To Achieve different line widths requires either changing the tip and nozzle combination or else adjusting the spray volume manually between spray width changes.

The single most important aspect of proper single action airbrush technique is to keep the hand moving before the trigger is depressed and after the trigger is released. This avoids the "bar bell" line.
