How Airbrushes Work

by Steven Leahy

Overview

How Airbrushes Work is a comprehensive look at airbrush use, maintenance and repair. The book begins with a brief look at airbrush history, then moves to a discussion of the various airbrush types. Too many first-time airbrush users have trouble because they don’t know how to clean and maintain the airbrush. This book from Wolfgang Publications explains how to disassemble, clean, and repair all the major brands. Even the best airbrush in the world isn’t any good without a source of air. The author discusses different compressor types and the advantages or disadvantages of each. Two chapters explain airbrush painting basics - from types of paint to trigger control, and the three basic strokes all painters need to know. The book closes with a gallery of airbrush art, and an airbrush buyer’s guide to help readers choose wisely when they buy their first, or their fifth, airbrush.
