    Thanks loads for this. I am a returning modeller so whether I will do much in terms of proper airbrush work remains to be seen. I had kind of worked out that a lot of the manufacturers ratios were arbitrary and had started mixing batches to suit, but I did not get the pressure relationship. Very much a beginner...I feel a ref card coming on😂. Thanks again.

 i was having to deep clean it every single time I put a coat of paint on something and I was thinking “but I’m thinning my paints!! Why is it clogged?”turns out there’s such a thing as TOO thin of paint and i reaally don’t need to be using vallejo model air which comes pre thinned, with 50% ratio of thinner added to it LMAO. I was so paranoid about not thickening my paint that I overthickened it!!

    Hello thank you for the great video! I was curious to know if you had any videos on spraying pearlescents or shapeshifting colors through an airbrush. I have been attempting to use a 0.5 mm with some airbrushed shapeshifting colors however my airbrush continues to get clogged within 2 or 3 minutes of using it. I've even tried a thinner and still the airbrush is uneffective. I really don't want to use a bottom feed with anything bigger than a 5 but this might be the only solution

    You have very informative videos . . . so much so that I am interested in taking your on-line course. Realistically, how much time would have to be devoted to the training? I ask because I travel a fair amount for my job and am curious if the course is able to be stopped and restarted and still be effective (understanding that innate talent - or lack there of! - cannot be factored into your answer).

    • @AirbrushAsylum

      Hi there and thank you for your comment and kind words and your interest in my online course. The course is designed so that you can learn at your own pace, you get lifetime access once purchased, it is based on our face to face introductory airbrushing course however it contains loads more info and it also has reference images plus cutting maps so you can get the most out of each exercise. The course is split into 3 chapters and you can always go back through any exercise or work on an artwork at your leisure and practice until you have mastered the techniques shown.
      I highly recommend making some of the basic exercises as part of your regular warm up routine as these are the fundamental things that you should practice to master your brush .đŸ‘đŸ»

      Water can be used but I wouldn't recommend it, as it breaks down the viscosity of the paint and lots of reducers / thinners for example Trident Reducer has slipping agents within their reducer to help minimise tip dry and keep your paint performing at it's best.
