| | Beginning Airbrush
March 8-11, 2018
A 4-day workshop for the absolute beginner: building confidence, learning at your pace and devoting more time to mastering the basics.
If you thought learning to airbrush would be too hard, we've created this class to maximize your comfort. You will achieve daily goals that ensure mastery and preparedness for the next steps.
This is the time to add airbrushing to your repertoire of tools. It is the secret weapon of many Fine Art painters, so why shouldn't it be yours too?

| | Announcing a new Scratchable super smooth Canvas for airbrushing!
Everyone knows that customers value artwork on canvas more than works on paper, but up until now airbrushing on canvas required days of prep work. Here is a smooth canvas designed for airbrush, erasing, and scratching. It has a very light tooth, making it ideal for traditional brushwork too!
