Bob Keeling & Maryellen Vettori are airbrush artists who fused their talents to create two textbooks, Airbrushing 101 and Airbrushing 102. The books build skills with exercises and projects that nurture success. Mastery of the airbrush is where the Airbrush Institute was born. Maryellen is a self-taught artist and a product of Airbrush Action magazine’s “Airbrush Getaway” program. She worked her way from student to instructor and developed a love of teaching. Bridging her powers of observation with natural talent, she forges her own artistic vision not only with airbrushing but also in other painting and drawing commissions. Her quest to pass the airbrushing art form to the next generation drives her passion to perpetuate the industry. Bob is a skilled airbrushing, pinstriping, and sign-painting artist. He is also the Advertising and Graphic Design Program Coordinator and an instructor at Southwestern Community College in western North Carolina, a role he has held for over 25 years. He has successfully brought airbrushing into his curriculum, and it is the most sought-after class offered.
