can you read my mind? yesterday i thought about to question you if it is possible to you to publish a tutorial about how to airbrushing noses. Anyhow here it is. Thanks so much. Bye the way (like everytime) an excelent tutorial! you are a superb teacher
Good morning brother Mark, I finally know you name brother. Still watching you looking forward to more portraits with color. I love watching you I just watch your old airbrushing videos over and over and over again. I have ordered so so much stuff Dru Blair materials. Do you think that it is OK to order the Dru Blair Eyes stencils kit. I was thinking that it would be nice. To have something in my arsenal like that. Thank you brother Mark for being so nice!!!🎣🎣🎣
Thanks Michael! I think Dru Blair makes some of the best shields out there. His french curves are my favorite. I'm sure the eye kit is good too and I agree, probably good to have in the setup. you can never have too many shields or templates. I'll usually always find a place to use one.
Another excellent tutorial. Really excited for the new landscape video. Finally got round to becoming a member and you are worth every penny mate. Thank you✌️
Maquis Mark, thanks so much man!! Very nice and generous of of you to join. It really means a lot to me. I'll be thanking you in the next lesson which will be the landscape. I hope its a good one!
@@theartworkshop My pleasure mate. I have watched most of your videos more than once so it's the least I can do. I encourage regular viewers to join up as it's cheaper than 1 cup of coffee per week. Cheers✌️
Hi Mark, was wondering why you use distilled water and not the recommended reducer, maybe you have said and I've missed ìt. Have to say, you make things easier to understand, and good to watch you work.
Another amazing tutorial, Mark. Nice to know your name. Really looking forward to seeing some more landscape tutorials from a guy who really nose all the tricks!
I have just started airbrush I've done motorcycle but would like to do more people painting if you know what I mean I've just about to start a landscape with water never done this tip before I've only done graffiti with a airbrush any tips thanks cliff
I love your content , could you make a video of you cleaning your airbrush after use? I know you said you don’t like taking the nozzle tip apart bud do you just spray cleaned through it, and call it good?
Great video as always Mark.. you said you gesso'd your yupo paper, may I ask what kinda prep did you give to the yupo paper before applying the gesso if any..
Thanks Dusty. No prep at all. Just apply the gesso with a brush or roller, use a taping knife to remove it, and let it dry. I do this 2x then sand the next day.
Thank you for your amazing tutorials, I have painted several of them, and I am getting better. I am attempting to paint the nose now, I am using Createx transparent Illustration Colors, and when I mixed 10 parts Burnt Umber, 2 parts Cobol blue, and 4 parts water I got gray, any suggestions?
Hi there Mark, i'm catching up on your videos as we speak. Love your tutorials btw, and while listening I heard you mention u used Gesso on Yupo paper? I've been doing a portrait on Yupo paper but had to try 3 times over again since it's a pain to erase on it. Now I hear you say you can apply Gesso to the paper? How does this work? It applied the same way as in your previous video about applying Gesso to a canvas? And since the paper is a smooth surface, does it stick to it? Greets Dieter
Awesome, thank you Dieter! Well I find that yupo paper erases too easily, like the paint scratches away rather than a controlled erase that you get on gesso. So I'll add 2 coats of gesso (same techniques as canvas with a taping knife) and then lightly wet sand it in a day or so when it's dry. I love it as a surface- smoother than canvas & easy to set up. You can soft erase into it as well so you can control how much paint you remove. Hope this helps!
Well I went to the art supply shop and bought me some Gesso. Since they didn't have Liquitex, I bought Galeria from Winsor & Newton. I'll give it a go. Thank you for your videos!
I've learned so much about airbrushing from your video's, and am improving a lot because of them. I am also practising drawing using the grid method but I am still finding that difficult. I am using an A5 sketchbook (with charcoal pencils) at the moment but would it be easier to use a larger size, or is smaller better? Thanks Parklanecartman
Mark I’m on vacation and viewing some of your videos. They are extremely informative and helpful. Somewhere in your comments you asked for suggestions regarding future instructional vids. Id appreciate some help with pet portraits. Especially dogs. I’m also working on a picture with Gorillas. Both of which seem to have different hairs and textures.? Also, would you direct me to videos explaining Gesso, paper, canvas uses/differences? Have a nice holiday! Education Support Services Carl Grasso, MS Executive Director
Hi I live in the uk . I’m trying to learn how to do airbrushing i’m struggling a bit because there’s no classes around my area I’m getting a bit bored with just doing lines want to get into it more so is there anything you can help me with like on line classes thanks Phil
Hey brother Mark I truly hope that you had a beautiful Christmas and a very nice New Year’s brother. Okay I mixed up 10 drops Burnt Umber, 1-3 drops of Cobalt Blue. Brother it didn’t come nowhere near the the color that’s you are using for nose flesh tone it was Blue. Drew Blair gave me 15 parts, burnt umber, 10 parts, red violet, two parts sepia. It was supposed to be a Caucasian lady. Flesh tone It was purple what is going on.
a bunch of things can give you a different color. first of all make sure you fully mix each bottle. Now every flesh tone, no matter the race, is always going to be a de saturated orange color. So burnt umber is a orange/brown, but still too saturated. A drop of blue will ( since it is the complementary color to orange) will help desaturate it further. Play around with those 2 colors (cobalt blue and burnt umber). If it came out too blue, try 20 drops of burnt umber and 1 drop of blue. Sometimes bottles are mixed slightly differently giving you a different mixture, but the concept is the same. You will get it down in no time!
Okay brother I see the Caucasian tone, flash of the nose now It’s dark when you spread it with your finger. But when you spray it very lightly through the airbrush gun. It’s almost a pinkish color I see now you gotta spray it lightly. For like colors and a little more for darker colors. Okay Okay I’m learning thanks brother Mark!!!🎣🎣🎣 The fish symbol I do a lot of Dam fishing down here in Montgomery Alabama brother. Everyone knows me as the fisherman Mike Mike my nickname. Now you know a little bit about me take care brother Mark
@@michaelthompson1185 exactly! It'll be very dark if you pour it out, but the color looks correct when you lightly spray it. That is awesome Mike! What type of fish do you catch?
@@theartworkshop I make my own lures for catching Strippers. Which is Stripe Bass , Hybrid Bass, Spot Bass which is Small Mouth Bass , White Bass which is crossbreed. With Strippers and Hybrid Bass brother I know I probably. Don’t need it but I purchased an illustration, Orange. I know I can mix Orange and Red I just want a true Orange. Dru Blair mix came out Red Violet so all I had to do was mix it complementary color, quite a few drops of yellow then 1-2 drops of cobalt Blue for the eye kit in a box and there you go. Those PlayStation 4 game characters for Far Cry 6 will probably be an orange and a cobalt. Haven’t mixed it let but, they are pretty Orangish, light brown. More 3-D but I truly love the coloration that they produce. I just want to have fun in between learning realism Portraits airbrushing!!!🎣🎣🎣❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much, Carl. Funny that you should mention a pet portrait, because one of the next lessons/tutorials (in a few weeks) is going to be a wolf painting. It'll be all about painting hair, fur, and fly away hairs. It's not a pet portrait, but it's pretty close! As for gesso, paper, and canvases, have you watched my video called "make your canvas smoother than paper"? I basically go over everything in that one. I also have another on making your own airbrush paper. Check those out! Thanks again and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Grazie per la bella lezione.
A very good lesson, just like everyone else! Thank you for sharing your experience. Definitely like under every movie!

lol I had this one ready to go a few weeks ago, minus the voice over. Thanks for the kind words.
A well detailed beginner video. Your instruction skills are very good as well. Thanks Mark

I made a full video on this called "why the best reducer is free". I explain it all in that one so check it out!
Thank you Mark.

What colors are specifically used in painting using this gun?
