Workshop Description

GOOD NEWS! We have demystified the airbrush in such a way that it is easy, exciting, and fun to learn! Airbrushing has long been considered one of the most difficult artistic tools to master, but this class makes it approachable, exciting, and fun. Bob and Maryellen have developed a clear, hands-on method that helps students build muscle memory-the true key to airbrush mastery. Through repetition, engaging exercises, and supportive troubleshooting, participants progress from the basics to finished projects that showcase their new skills. Mistakes and mishaps are encouraged as part of the learning process, making this class ideal for beginners and intermediate students alike. The course covers airbrushing across a wide range of applications-action figures, cosplay, cakes, prosthetics, skin, metal, wood, fabric, and canvas-helping participants see just how versatile and indispensable this tool can be. Each student will receive a copy of Airbrushing 101 to continue learning at home. Students are welcome to bring their own airbrush or borrow one during class. By the end of the workshop, participants will have the skills and confidence to integrate airbrushing into their own creative practice.
