Listened to your whole video. I'm a "bristle" brush artist specializing in oil portraits and have done many landscapes in the past. I've been asked to do some art work on vehicles and other structures and I see how an airbrush will help achieve better and faster results. Really like your videos, they help a lot!
Airbrush!... Hi Bill, I'm a NEW SUBSCRIBER and made it to the end! I'm looking forward to taking up Airbrushing. Therefore on the hunt for any information, hints, tips & reviews as I'm disabled and been housebound for over 9 year's which can be a hindrance when buying anything especially Airbrushes as there is so many on the market right now! I look forward to more of your informative videos. Take care and be safe from the UK.
Made it. Was finally able to decide which airbrush to get thanks to your advice. The Mac value was the deciding factor. Thank you and keep up the great work.
if you grabbed the creos.. i doubt you will be unhappy at all. Im testing a few others lately.. but the creos is still a great buy. and definitely a keeper.

Airbrush 🥰. This was super helpful! I'm just getting started and will be using the airbrush that came with it, for now. When I'm ready to grab a better one I will go through your links. New sub!
There is nothing wrong in working with what you have! With that said cheap airbrushes can at times be a little more finicky. But I can honestly make art with the cheapest of airbrushes.
most temporary tattoo people are using stencils.. (unless doing full body art) Bottle fed for quick stock colors in that case work better. If doing stencil stuff it really doesnt matter if doing regular body art then the iwata eclipse bottle feed airbrush would be my choice.
AIRBRUSH FOREVER! :) Thank you. Some of my old ones are very boring.. like for instance my frog was my second video... boring But FILLED with information.
Hello love the show I a have questions but first little about me. retired trucker and now I'm ready but time is not on my side I have had a few job as in painting Ford trucks in production I've dabbed in different hobbies but I came across and old airbrushe sidefed no Co. Name only on left it has this. 4RR10 WO19 any info or should I toss it.
airbrush! I recently ordered the Eclipse HP-CS and anxiously await its arrival. I'm hoping for better performance than my Paasche. Thanks for the tips.
too late, just bought a custom micron,.. all the gear and no idea lol.. TBH i find it a bit fussy compared to my HP CH, probably because of its smaller .2.3 size, i find it splutters and dries, even though my paint is very thin.
watched to the end lol i bought the iwata eclipse have never airbrushed bought a rok 1.6 gallon ultra quiet compressor what size auxillary tank should I add and what adapter will I need also what air hose should I buy
sorry been a bit since you asked.. You wont need an auxillary tank with 1.6 gallons :) I do have a video on hooking up a compressor to an airbrush if you search off my main page however :)
Thanks! UA-cam is a hard path to start, especially those of us who started in 2019 with the newest rules and algorythms. However it is starting to grow this month at a much faster rate. As for the color theory, it amazes me that is not performing much better. I know for a fact most people just mix color hoping for the best. As did I not that long ago. I plan on changing the thumbnail on those and see if that captures a few more eyes
Thanks for a very helpful video. Would you recommend the Iwata neo . I am a watercolour artist And don’t believe in rules so want to use the airbrush to over paint my watercolour paintings. Could I mix my watercolour paint or should I use my Golden high flow paint? Thanks Happy New Year stay safe
you can absolutely airbrush watercolors. they work beautifully in an airbrush. As for the neo. Its not a bad airbrush, but I have a little bit of a hard time giving it a hearty recomendation. It overall performs well. I just do not like to recomend any airbrush that the nozzle has to be unthreaded every time to a beginner airbrush artist. Its not that this is unique to the neo.. but there are options that do not require that. its just so easy to damage one when starting. for the same reason I never recomend grex and a wide assortment of airbrushes. but thats being a bit picky on my part.
Abou to make another one on hand positioning today, along with many others I have! Thank you! My goal is to help promote the art and make it easier for anyone at any level!
No I do not have one on reduction. Actually it would suprise most I dont use much . I use pretty much the full range of createx products. Golden High Flows, and some others occasionally. I most use createx illustration paints.
good to hear... im actually going to be doing a few reviews on some airbrushes very soon, outside of the ones I listed. I have a couple others already sitting here waiting on a video :)
I still use one. It's a brush that can last a very very long time. And extraordinarily versatile. You pay a little premium for the name, but you get a durable easy to maintain airbrush that's capable of more than most will ever need.
@@TheAIRspace since I am barely getting into airbrushing, I was thinking about one of those all-in-one beginner kits but have seen pretty bad reviews. I might as well pay now the premium price since I see myself painting 3d prints for a long time. Now to find a compressor that's suitable.
@@jeffvalencia7656 I usually try and get people to get the california air or similar compressors. Kit.co/wleonartistry has some I recommend ... It's a video I keep meaning to make
Bill I have a badger anthem airbrush that seems to have problems with the nozzle it will clog or leak within 3 minutes of painting I was wondering what you recommend to seal the nozzle on this type airbrush?
Beeswax. Clogging.. well thats a different question. Make sure its not the bottle holes getting clogged.. if air cant get into the bottle it will act like its clogging. Ive yet to see a badger that didnt benefit from sealing the threads on the head assembly. Beeswax is recomended. Chapstick works in a pinch.
I have an Iwata HiLine HP BH I just bought and I'm getting paint just underneath the trigger and in the gun body where the spring is... Am I doing something wrong please? BTW I subbed and love your videos x
Hey Paul. There is a needle packing on that brush, which will need to be tightened. You can easily find the parts breakdown on that brush. No question the needle packing is not right if paint is getting to that location. And it can cause lots of trouble. If it is BRAND new and your first airbrush.. I would contact the seller. Adjusting the needle packing is one of the most sensitive user serviceable things you can do. It is VERY Rare for iwata to ship one out not right. But it can happen. They have a tool made just for this purpose, it can be done with a small flathead screwdriver (Like a jewers type) But I cant say the size off my head. Keep me posted ill see what i can do to get ya fixed up!
@@TheAIRspace Great info, thanks so much! It is brand new too. I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply and help me out.
Airbrush 😁 Thanks for another awesome video. So informative while being so entertaining 😂 Love it. I do need to get a bigger needle and nozzle for my brush.
I havent decided yet... I do think im gonna do some kind of autumn leaf type thing. This is usually the time of year i start pumping out pet portraits for customers... so its a touch up in the air. Im still commited to at least a video a week. But they may be small ones as december closes in.
I was hoping this video would answer a question for me but no dice. I bought a sotar when I first started out but rarely use it. Could you do a tutorial on when a detail brush would be better suited to use than an eclipse style set up. I would like to use the best to for the job just not sure which to use. Hope that makes sense....
im sorry it took so long to reply... i didnt catch the comment on this pretty old video :/ The best use for a detail airbrush over an eclipse is not always about fine lines. its about soft and gentle blending at small size. Getting a sharp crisp line itself is not as hard on the eclipse, but when you start doing micro blends the detail brushes really shine. They atomize finer at that small gentle gradients
Airbrush... something to bring up that you can kind of see in your video on the gsi models ps-270, 288 & 770 ( which is the .18 needle and I have and love) the air delivery is the same as the much higher priced iwata micron. There are 3 holes delivering air around the nozzle where alot only have 1. The gsi airbrushes are a jewel that I wish I would have found along time ago. I hope that helps everyone. Also great video.
well the 770 and the micron heads are similiar. However the shorter distance to me atomizes better than the 270. Actually i swapped a micron head in it and it did make a difference. They are very good at the price point. I use the 270 a lot.
oh! And i was reading comments from main page. I do have a seperate review on the 270 from much earlier. With a much more in depth breakdown on the brush. Thanks!
@@TheAIRspace no problem at all thanks for responding. This was the first video of yours I had saw. I am fat from an expert on this... far. Just info that was shared with me that I wanted to pass on. I only have the 77O and am having a hard time deciding between getting the 270 and 289. I feel like the 270 is better for what I like to do but it is nice to have the bigger needle sometimes. I know at the price point I can probably get both lol and be fine. I am actually watching your leaf painting video now. Good stuff and keep it up.
@@aaronhale3903 No worries! the 289 is the .3 version/ Awesome brushes all around, ive been able to try out a few. Seeing as you have a 770, id go for the 289 for the versatility... its on my soon list as well.... im a hoarder of airbrushes it seems : )
Thanks for the clear and helpful advise. I am a teacher of Art in a high school in South Africa and we are interested in offering airbrushing to pupils as a vocational skill. I appreciate your help and support. Regards Paul Lichkus.
All Airbrush’s use a “Venturi Effect” to get paint out of the chamber. In a Gravity airbrush, pull the needle back 1” and put paint in the cup, it will not run out, and that’s a open hole from the chamber! It needs air to pull a slight vacuum on the chamber, Venturi effect!
Yes all airbrushes use a venturi effect, however a gravity feed will need less pressure to pull the paint forward and atomize. As for paint not running without air, i can guarantee liquid can and will drip out without air. Actually its used a lot for a splatter effect pumping the trigger then hitting air to make little splatter. (on gravity feed brushes) Keep the air on! Peace!
I do not have any models here at the moment. However one of my friends is supposed to be sending me some Gundham models soon. Although he just moved to Alabama (got a job with nasa) so he is preoccupied. I dont do a whole lot of them. But i definitely have considered doing a few. They get expensive fast if your just doing demos with them : )
Well that's a big question. Since I have a lot to choose from. If I had only one, it would be the iwata eclipse hp cs. It is still probably my most used airbrush overall.
@@Jaimerga they are excellent, as is the gsi creos ps 770/771. However, they Excell at small detail and shading. For myself I work on a lot of canvases from 11x14 to 18x24. And it would be very hard for a micron to fill that up in a reasonable amount of time. Then there is how thick of a paint you can spray through a micron, versus an eclipse, which lets me work straight out of the bottle or barely reduced which of course leads to quicker coverage.
@@Jaimerga on that note, I also use a badger Omni a bit, which takes even thicker paints and quicker coverage than the eclipse.. but I'd be hard pressed to do everything with the Omni. The eclipse is a great all rounder.
usually if I use a color wheel I go www.realcolorwheel.com/colorwheel.htm That particular color wheel was created and mixed with 36 pigments (which he lists) and all the darkening is done with opposites. It is probably the closest to accurate color wheel aside from making your own you can find.
I always find at least one thing in your videos that make me feel like a complete idiot! In this one for example "when cleaning the nozzle on the Creos PS-270, just remove the head and go in from the back", so no need to take off the nozzle and chance stripping the threads. Thank you! I plan on watching all your videos. P.S. I do own some Creos.
I have an olympos micron that I have owned for 4 years now. I have never removed the nozzle. And just recently have stopped using it due to finally flaring the nozzle enough the performance has degraded . I keep meaning to order a replacement for it. You will notice a trend with me. I never recomend airbrushes that need the nozzles unscrewed. Because IF I managed to break one (when my job used to entail repairing small machines parts) I can only imagine how easy it is for a novice to break one. And I have seen more than my share of posts about broken nozzles.
I am going to devote this upcoming week to some of the very basics. Its easy to find youtube videos of speed paintings but those dont teach a whole lot : ) Thank you!
in hindsight going back 2.5 years. i suppose telling people the information on buying was over was not the best decision.. There was very good and valid information in the last 3 minutes however ;)
well this is for the complete novice! And I will be making a few more like... how to control one, hold one etc. But i definitely am not abandoning all the other airbrush tutorials! Thank you for the support!
Newton's mass attracting masa gravity and einstein's bendy warpy space time which superceded newton's are both nonsense and a joke. Just so everyone is clear. Appreciate the video buddy 👍
@@Michael-Humphrey well that would depend on what you plan on painting and how big. if you go to kit.co/wleonartistry I list some paints and a few benefits of each. Textiles big nozzle and standard createx airbrush colors are the most readily available Wicked is a good choice for small murals and bigger canvases models and even some automotive art. Createx illustration golden high flow are great choices for small to medium paintings. Createx illustration can also be used on all surfaces except textiles. Whatever you do get an airbrush paint and not try and use cheap craft paints to airbrush with. As for airbrushes. My recomendations are pretty much what I gave in the video.
Thank you buddy, I am starting with his hobby and just ordered my compressor. I really appreciate the heads up.
Glad to help
Just ordered the eclipse cs thanks for your advice.
I've never seen anyone disappointed in the eclipse. It's still a workhorse in my stable.

Can I still do shirts with a gravity fed airbrush ? Because im not sure which one to get since I don’t think I will be doing much clothing
absolutely, the best reason for bottle feeds with t shirts is changing bottles for color changes, but they will paint a t shirt fine.

No I do not have one on reduction. Actually it would suprise most I dont use much . I use pretty much the full range of createx products. Golden High Flows, and some others occasionally.

Color theory is similar to tv cookery programmes, people watch it but don't do it.
The amazing thing is it really IS easy once you mess with it a little bit. In my case they havent watched it much overall : )

Thanks for watching! and best wishes on your journey!
So if you watch half of the video will you learn the whole lesson?
in hindsight going back 2.5 years. i suppose telling people the information on buying was over was not the best decision.. There was very good and valid information in the last 3 minutes however ;)
Airbrush on all your videos Bill..
well this is for the complete novice! And I will be making a few more like... how to control one, hold one etc. But i definitely am not abandoning all the other airbrush tutorials! Thank you for the support!

Hey hey! Thanks for sticking to it!
Newton's mass attracting masa gravity and einstein's bendy warpy space time which superceded newton's are both nonsense and a joke. Just so everyone is clear. Appreciate the video buddy 👍
Airbrush lol
Thank you! Happy atomizing!
so lost lol
let me know what you need help with. Ill be glad to answer any questions!
@@TheAIRspace so i want to do spray art for the winter i just have no clue what to buy the paint or anything just lost
@@Michael-Humphrey well that would depend on what you plan on painting and how big.
if you go to kit.co/wleonartistry I list some paints and a few benefits of each.
Textiles big nozzle and standard createx airbrush colors are the most readily available
Wicked is a good choice for small murals and bigger canvases models and even some automotive art.
Createx illustration golden high flow are great choices for small to medium paintings. Createx illustration can also be used on all surfaces except textiles.
Whatever you do get an airbrush paint and not try and use cheap craft paints to airbrush with.
As for airbrushes. My recomendations are pretty much what I gave in the video.
