Brilliant stuff - I love your channel. I just tried this technique and at the end the canvas itself is smooth but up close there’s so many scratches from the sanding that I can’t rid of. Do you think a dry sanding with 400 grit would help to get rid of those final scratches? I’m using it for large scale graphite drawing so I’m trying to get it as smooth as I can without the scratches. Thanks so much!

Please dont use tap if you live in an area with really hard water...

The light coverage in the middle indicates paint is either too thin or pressure too high. With a fan cap thickness and pressure is more critical than with a round spray and takes a little patience and practice to get right.

The best cleaner I've found for water based acrylics is denatured (not isopropyl) alcohol. Dried paint doesn't stand a chance against it. Been using it for years, no issues. I like the tip about leaving some distilled water in the cup during breaks. Gonna have to remember that one! 👍

Strange that i got a notification this late to a video.

amazing tutorial ! Can you make a tutorial on a cat-like drawing?

Thankyou very informative 😊

I do exactly what you do plus… I DO leave distilled water in the cup (1/2 to 3/4 full) when I put my airbrush back on the stand at the end of a session. It never evaporates totally and often has a few flecks of paint in it that somehow got missed… I just tip it out and add a couple of drops of thinner before starting again.

What I do when I clean my airbrush that I found very effective is to backflow the air back into the cup. I am able to get rid of the paint stuck in the nozzle better. I used to get dried paint clogging the nozzle more often but with the backflow method I don't get it anymore

Thanks for the wonderful examples.ck,wisc.

Wow are you a good artist.

Cool plug for Rob.. another good study Mark Thanks.

I have always had a love/hate relationship with my Inifinity. I just can't get consistent results, and precisely for the reason you mentioned: no consistency in the trigger control. When it works, it's amazing, when it doesn't, it's hell. I've never had this issue with my custom micron.

The main problem is I understand is airbruah trigger reaponse. I watch a video titled making your infinity more reaponsive in the trigger. He added 2 ring after trigger to overcome the back action inconsistancy. Could you test the fix. If it works the only negative thing about this airbrush is solved.

I'm surprised you're using hand soap to detect leaks. In industrial pneumatic leak checking and automotive air system leak checking like tires we only use dish soap as all hand soap does not create good bubbles equally but pretty much all dish soaps do. I've had many hand soaps fail at detecting small air leaks compared to using any type of dish detergent.

Wow. Thats nice fine lineing.

I don't want a very smooth surface; I only want to refine the surface of the only reasonably priced stretched canvas that is available where I live. In other words, I want to fill those valleys partially and use a gesso that has the right amount of absorbency to be able to paint on it with oils in an expressionist or impressionist style. - so I can scumble, put down washes, build up impasto, etc., and enjoy the surface. Maybe this is the answer...?

Just picked up an airbrush for miniature painting. There must be a thousand starter videos but this one set me straight on so many fundamentals. Thank you very much!

Hi! I'm thinking about trying airbrushing and wondering if I need an enclosure for it. How much does the paint travel when sprayed on large artworks? Do you happen to have a video on this that I've missed? Your vids are so good!! So very inspiring ✌️

I'm sure Iwata's are great airbrushes. The Neo is also a .35 needle so what the real difference in performance.

Perfeitíssimo!!!

Always a pleasure and never a chore, really useful video (from a pro), and enjoyable too, I was contemplating if I needed to complicate/augment my regime, but not now, You've made it easier ✌️😊💜👍

Ocasionally I leave paint in the cup (with a lid on!) for the next day... or even 3. The only thing i do before that is cleaning the tip with a brush soaked in cleaner and blow air. I over reduce all my paints, that's also a factor. No issues with performance so far.

I have 2 and I have really really enjoyed them I airbrush on the daily so far 6 months and I have had very few issues ok for detail but not the best but who buys a 20$ gun for detail work I have used enamel paints I have use water based acrylic paint I have use the decant method used spray paint and I have put a lot of nail polish threw them in just recommend not doing nail polish and acrylics tho takes a lot of cleaning to work properly is you switch often. One or the other tho and it’s perfect

I'm overjoyed that I found your channel last month. I've used my airbrush more the last couple weeks than I have for the prior year.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great information, your tip on flushing after you wipe the paint cup is vary important, I have had cotton and brush hairs in my nozzle several times. Thanks!

Thank you. This will be my standard practice.

Thanks Mark. It’s a good routine to get into and saves problems down the line👍 I like the Schmincke Aero Colours and I also like Holbein.

I don’t know why I’m even surprised the best maintenance video I’ve seen to date would also have been made by the best airbrush artist on the platform. Thanks -Brad who’s about to go put his eclipses in a vice and take to them with a hammer 😂🙏🏻

Hello. Unbeatable explanations once again. Many thanks

Interresting. I was under the impression that you were using Createx Illustration acrylics. It looks like you switched over to Aero Color and Golden. Why?

Thanks Mark I'm a full time paint sprayer in my day job and clean down meticulously after every shift some may call it anal I call it common sense I know the nxt day I can pick up my paint gun from the get go 😊😊 I do the same with my brushes when airbrushing at home

Very useful and well presented info. Thank you. Subscribe✌

Would you mind if I ask you a question? If you could only afford one micron which one would it be? The takumi seems nice because the cup isn't in the way but the cup seems like it would be more difficult to clean out in between colors. The cm-b seems nice, is it just a smaller cm-c plus? I've been really enjoying your videos, do you have an instagram?

Ciao. Ho una domanda da farti a cui puoi rispondere solo tu. Quando dipingevo ad olio con le velature riuscivo ad ottenere una trasparenza dell'acqua quasi verosimile. Credi che si possa fare anche con l'aerografo? Se si hai qualche suggerimento? Grazie

Wow This is one of the best tutorials i've seen. Really helpful !! Thank you!!

So, I had to replace a needle packing screw in my Iwata HP-B recently. I've adjusted the needle with just a little tension. However, when I tried it out with the new needle packing screw, air flow was fine, but paint would not com out. Paint (Tamiya) was thinned 50/50, but still no paint coming out even with the normal air flow. Nozzle (.2mm) is clear and needle passes through the needle packing screw fine. Not sure what I did wrong or what needs to be adjusted. The original needle packing screw had a rubber seal while the replacement is the white teflon type. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

It is my first airbrush and I am very happy that I immediately chosed the right one 🙂

I am trying to figure out what is the best support for the erasure technique with oak dowel and pencil eraser. What do you think about it?

which surface is the best to use oak dowel and pencil rubber ?

Thank you so much for the info you put out there. I have learned so much from your channel. Now i can use my airbrush with confidence.

sanding MDF will give you cancer. do NOT do this without ventilation and a properly sealed dust mask!

Can you put cup on both sides, will it work?

Is this better than the iwata hpcs?

This was very helpful and clear. Living in Texas I get a host of different Climates going back and forth from DFW to Houston so this will help a lot. Thanks.

Actually, it isn't a rumor. GSI Creos are made in the same factories as IWATA (can't remember the name). In fact, 90% of Japan's airbrush companies are made by the same machining corportation, and in the same factories. They just have different branding and slightly different specifications determined by each company. IWATA many decades ago is the company that eventually bought out Olympos, which were the best in the business, and they also bought their patents and learned alot of their manufacturing process. TLDR: GSI Creos are on par with most of Iwatas lineup under $200. The reason a Platinum Pro Con Boy is quite a bit cheaper than an Eclipse is almost entirely due to brand name recognition, and the massive budget of marketing that Iwata has compared to Mr. Hobby line of airbrush. Especially on an international level.

This is awesome. Thank you! I left a comment / question on your previous video. I wonder about type of roller you would recommend and see below that someone commented they recommend a foam roller. Could you comment on the best type of roller that won't leave lint etc?

Great video- watched your updated one as well. Thank you!! Do you have a type of roller you recommend? I worry about lint after reading reviews while trying to choose one.

Any line type airbrushes single action siphop fed?
