10 TIPS for FLAWLESS AIRBRUSH PERFORMANCE & Solving Problems

[@grapetonenatches186]

I had a bunch of trouble when I started a few months ago. I did not look forward to airbrushing at all. I have experienced much better results using many of these tips from your past videos. Now i very much enjoy using my airbrush. Thank you for doing this.

[@theartworkshop]

I'm happy to hear that. You'll enjoy it more and more as you as you get more comfortable with the airbrush. Enjoy painting!

[@jonathanfryer1319]

Good to know. Just bought one and am nervous - i don't want to get put off!

[@markdockery518]

This 30 minute video taught me more than what I’ve learned in 4 months of research. Thank you so much.

[@theartworkshop]

I'm so glad that it's helpful to you! you are most welcome

[@McVilla1N]

One of the best airbrush tutorial videos i have seen yet.

[@theartworkshop]

so happy to hear that- thanks!

[@Helgram]

Thanks! My first airbrush just arrived! I am sure I will have much less frustration and happier experiences because of your instruction. Thank you. You are a masterful teacher.

[@theartworkshop]

Exciting!! Just take your time and you're going to be just fine. Don't panic when things don't go your way because you'll learn from each mistake. One tip- don't forget about safety measures like wearing a respirator. It's important to look after your health. Thanks so much for this and the very kind words. Wishing you all the best!

[@Indyjeeplover]

I’ve only been airbrushing a couple years. Your videos were extremely helpful in overcoming some of my initial issues. By far my biggest problem was what I thought was tip dry. After considerable frustration I figured out that I was getting very small paint chunks off the bottle caps. It only takes a piece much smaller than a grain of sand to plug up. After getting fastidious about keeping the caps clean and thinning paint correctly I virtually never have tip dry. After dispensing paint immediately wipe the top with a paper towel. That wet paint you see on the towel could have dried and clogged your brush Thanks for the most excellent videos and all your help

[@kevincrabtree2071]

This helped SOOO much! I just started airbrushing 4 days ago & paint was coming with just the air EXACTLY at the moment you were covering that issue. Cracks me up just remembering it. Keep'em coming mate, you're making a difference!

[@theartworkshop]

I'm so glad! thanks for the kind words

[@vivisector3489]

Stellar video. I got myself a proper compressor just a week ago and now waiting for my airbrush to arrive. I've had all these questions and you're addressing all of them.

[@theartworkshop]

thanks! a great investment. A good compressor just makes using an airbrush that much better. all the best to you!

[@stealthswim223]

As a complete noob, this helps a crap ton. Sooo helpful!

[@isisnmagic1812]

Just bought myself a new compressor after using a compact compressor, and this video is way more informative than all others I've watched over the last two years, thank you for this video.

[@Suar23]

This video is pure gold!! Thanks for sharing.

[@monte71eg]

If you want to airbrush and not get frustrated with the process, this is the channel you should sub to. Mark is the man ! Ive subed and in just a few of his vids, I now understand the airbrush and airbrushing so much better. He is percise, has a calming inteligent voice and just casually walks you through the steps. Great video work, also. Bravo ! Now I can dump those other channels that would leave me annoyed and frustrated. LOL.

[@theartworkshop]

hey man thanks so much! really appreciate the kind words. There are plenty active YT channels that I really enjoy like Rob's channel (DredFX), and Steven Leahy. Both of these guys are awesome and I respect them greatly. Airbrush asylum is great too. I also really enjoy watching some of the miniature painters & scale modelers. Some incredible works that these guys make. It's not what I paint, but I'm a big fan of it.

[@zazen69]

Fantastic video. You have excellent troubleshooting skills, problems and solutions laid out logically.

[@theartworkshop]

thank you!

[@duanemarshall9486]

Mark, you do incredible videos about this kind of subject matter. They are very informative, accurate, detailed and to the point. You do not waste time rambling about loosing the information in a mess. Hope you have a great weekend and look forward to your thoughts on the infinity 24. Cheers

[@theartworkshop]

Thanks so much for everything, Duane. This video took me way longer to make than I care to admit, but I'm glad it's finally done. Infinity is next week! It's been a lot of fun to paint with. Very interesting airbrush. Hope you have a great weekend as well Duane. Talk soon.

[@derianardor]

No lie, this is just perfect. I've been circling getting the feel of airbrushing for just long enough I was starting to lose my desire to use it but like legit, this video made a bunch of things click.

[@theartworkshop]

This is an amazing piece of work! I've been an occasional user of an airbrush for a long time and I went through maddening frustrations figuring out these things over time. There isn't a single bit of information here that people won't eventually need, and having it all in one place is tremendous.

Best airbrush video I have ever seen, thank you! Immediate like and subscribe. Something as "basic" as setting your PSI with the airbrush running air as you explained- I had no idea this was how you did it because I've never seen it explained this way. I always thought you just set the PSI without touching the brush, no surprise then that I have had months of failed starts and issues! Can't wait to get started again with these tips.

[@mikeszczutkowski3066]

Great video Mark, I do have trouble with the need to pull the trigger back further and further to get paint

[@theartworkshop]

Thanks Mike. Just curious- what paint & airbrush are you using?

[@mikeszczutkowski3066]

@theartworkshop I normally use iwata custom micron with. 23, creos ps 289 with. 3 and h&s evolution 2024 with .28 but happens with my Passche Talon .25 and with the lower end airbrushes. I use createx opaque, transparent and illustration but inks work really well.

[@theartworkshop]

@@mikeszczutkowski3066 I wonder if there is something wrong with batch of createx paints or the reducer you're using. If your airbrush is spraying inks well, it would seem to be the case. I've had a few bottles of illustration colors that would never spray right. Createx was awesome and replaced them for me. You might want to reach out to them to see if they can help you with it.

Wow! Great video and your voice is so calming, meditation like! I wonder if you could comment on using Testor's enamel model paint, thinned with their thinner. I want to do some minor touchup on my car using my Aztec 3000 airbrush. I'm somewhat concerned the enamel will gum up the airbrush? Your thoughts, thanks!

[@theartworkshop]

thanks so much for your kind words! I don't have much experience with testers enamel paint so I am of no help to you on this one. Sorry for that, but man I love to hear that you are using an Aztec! I recently bought a new, old stock aztec and it has to be one of the most unique airbrushes ever made.

[@voodooutube1]

Thanks, yeah bought it like 35 years ago, not a lot of moving parts. I'm gonna give testors a try. The manual says it's impervious to any known thinners, acetones, etc. Luv your artistry💯

[@peterarnold899]

I am an artist usually working with just pencils . But I always wanted to be an airbrush artist . I bought my first airbrush probably 15 years ago it was a badger crescendo and I could never get it to work right it was so confusing . A few years later I wanted to try again so I bought an iwata eclipse and same thing but it was all user error and ignorance and at the time I couldn’t find information like this haha. So tonight I just bought the badger sotar 2020 I’m very excited to get to work thank you sir yo are amazing.

[@theartworkshop]

those are some great airbrushes! The solar 20/20 in particular is one of my favorite detail airbrushes of all time. wishing you all the best!

@ I know I bought it because of your recommendation and I got it for like 88 bucks ! I’m too pumped . I watched your other videos on maintenance so I am taking apart my old iwata cleaning it and rebuilding it . For real every air brush company should put paper work in their boxes leading them to your videos . Your channel has helped so much thank you !

[@Deodat.]

Thank You.

[@Taskuvesku]

This video make me sub your channel. Thank you! :) I'm "casual" airbrush painter and i have been using craft paints, mainly water based acrylic paints. I have to try those proper paints, because those craft paints are not "fine" enough. Craft paints are kinda ok if using short period of time, for example: Doing highlights to a 3D-printed model, but when tip drys and clogs start to happen, you really have start to clean deeper than just the tip of the needle. That grainy effect happens pretty naturally with craft paints, and i like it, so there is that atleast. :'D

[@theartworkshop]

thanks! I hear you on that. A craft paint can certainly get the job done. I've sprayed many different types of paint through my airbrushes over the years. If it's within your budget, I highly recommend getting yourself a true airbrush paint in the future. You'll really notice a difference! Treat yourself- you deserve it.

i wish i knew this channel sooner, even that i use airbrush for modeling, you are very helpful! i have one question, does the length of the hose affect the airbrush in any way? i found mine being needlessly long

[@theartworkshop]

happy to hear that. really appreciate it! No, not much a difference. May see a slight difference in your static vs. working pressure but it's negligible.

[@NobleWizard]

Looking forward to your Infinity review

[@andreihmiliar]

big thanks man

[@theartworkshop]

Happy to help

[@8allan463]

Hey you got the new Infinity already 🎉! Love to see your feedback about this AB. My personal feeling is that it atomizes as good as a Micron. Its trigger response isn’t as instant as a Micron, but still consistent and comfortable to work with. It offers narrow spray pattern similarly as a 0.15 Infinity. But weirdly I found the spray pattern of the normal ver. becomes narrower when the pressure comes to 35 PSI, and the Squidma ver. doesn’t even spray the paint at all at 30 PSI. Perhaps there’s an issue with the aerodynamics in its design.

[@theartworkshop]

I ordered it day 1 of the presale! Just recieved it a few weeks ago so I'm still getting the hang of it. I haven't tested it at higher pressures yet, but I will get to it. I've been enjoying using it with reduced paint at lower pressures around 15 or so. It's a very interesting airbrush. video on it next week!

[@theartworkshop]

You are 100% right about this. There seems to be a point right around 34-37 psi where the spray pattern narrows. If I go higher or lower in pressure, the spray pattern returns to normal. Very strange! I've seen some excellent performance at lower pressures. Very good work from you finding this one!

[@8allan463]

@@theartworkshop Thanks for confirming! Yeah I don’t usually use such a high pressure so it doesn’t really bother me too much.

[@theartworkshop]

@@8allan463 I'll have to mention this in my video of the new infinity, and I'd like to give you the credit you for finding this. Let me know if that is okay with you. If so, please let me know a name that you would like me to refer to you as. I probably never would have found this myself since I would never spray a detail airbrush at that higher psi. Great work!!

Hi... great videos, I enjoy them very much. I've been airbrushing since the mid eighties, have you ever used a Paasche AB Turbo and do you have one in your fleet?

[@theartworkshop]

I've been trying to get one for years. Everytime I have a bid on one on ebay, someone snipes my bid at the last second. I'll eventually get my hands on one though.

[@xWILZTAx]

I replaced all the seals on my evo2024 because it wasnt working and couldnt get the bottom of it. I eventually found it was a tiny tiny dot of clear varnish on the floating needle cap so it wasnt 100% snug and air was escaping around it.

[@theartworkshop]

that could do it! glad you were able to get your airbrush working.

[@robertobassani942]

Hi thanks for the video I tried using high quality acrylic colors in tubes, mixed them with distilled water alcohol and glycerin then filtered through the filter of the Covid masks. It works. My question: is it possible that additives from nonspecific airbrush colors could damage the airbrush?

[@theartworkshop]

I doubt it will damage the airbrush, but some pigments should not be sprayed for safety reasons. I recommend going with an airbrush specific paint. It will make everything so much easier for you! No need to add glycerin. Just use the reducer that the manufacturer recommends and you'll be good to go. Wishing you all the best.

[@TryptychUK]

Excellent video, as always. I have an H&K Ultra 2024, and the nozzle cap is enclosed to prevent damage. The problem is, I cannot seem to get at it to clean it to avoid tip dry. Any suggestions?

[@theartworkshop]

A round synthetic paint brush works great for that. Wet it with some water or cleaning solution and you'll easily be able to clean tip dry off with the needle protection cap on. After cleaning, remember to point the airbrush in another direction from your work and press down on the trigger to blow off any of that excess cleaner from the needle.

[@TryptychUK]

@@theartworkshop Any reason why the brush should be synthetic?

[@theartworkshop]

​@@TryptychUK No, any brush is fine! It's just because synthetic brushes are inexpensive. The brush is going to get beat up cleaning out a nozzle cap. You wouldn't want to use a winsor newton series 7 for this.

[@TryptychUK]

​@@theartworkshop I was assuming that was the reason. Your videos have helped me a lot, thank you again for your contribution.

[@shinosha5267]

On my Ultra 2024 I use a cheap toothbrush. Sometimes with cleaner. It works wonder !

[@Stravaig83]

Haha.. So lots of my problems relate to me always using lower pressure than I think.. That sure explains a lot. Where was this vid four years ago😂

[@nolesdennhardt8986]

Thank you

[@wolf-xf6hf]

Would you ever use airbrush thinner or flow improver instead of water like vallejo thinner?

[@theartworkshop]

Absolutely! I use what the paint manufacturer recommends with their paint line. Unfortunately I don't have much experience with vallejo paints. But they are a well established company, so I would read the instructions on the bottle and reduce with what they recommend. If they say to use their thinner, that's what I would use. I would not use their reducers with another company's paint line though.

[@JerrynMariTreece]

I cannot thank you enough for doing this video it has helped me immensely!

[@theartworkshop]

You are most welcome! I'm glad to hear that it's helpful

[@babyshady82]

Same Infinity platinum tip 😅

[@wolf-xf6hf]

I recently ran into w problem with my first airbrush where when I pulled back on the trigger paint would smoothly come out but if I kept it at the same trigger pull distance the paint would slowly run out and then I would be left spraying nothing eventually. Any idea what that could be. Also thank you for your videos just in general especially the videos like these they are so informative

[@theartworkshop]

Could be a few things. It could be the paint that you are using. I would check to make sure that you are spraying at a pressure high enough to atomize the paint. I would also check to make sure that your paint is not too thick, and that your needle tip is clear of tip dry. Do the water test at 25 psi or so to see if your airbrush is working properly. Then I would bump up your PSI to a higher than normal pressure (say 35 psi or more) and see if the airbrush can atomize the paint. Then you can drop it back to 25-30 and see if it's still working. Best to play around with those pressures and reductions to find the sweet spot.

[@wolf-xf6hf]

@ thanks so much I really appreciate it

[@Ariesmount]

I have a question for you. Sometimes my Iwata double action airbrush gets sticky with the control button, rather than popping back up when my finger lifts. Sometimes I even have to pull the button back up. Super frustrating. I bend over backwards to keep my airbrush clean, and airbrush lube doesn’t seem to help. Can you tell me what I need to do?

[@theartworkshop]

This happens every few years to me as well. Simple fix! What I do is remove the spring valve assembly from the bottom of the airbrush and clean it out with some mild soap and water. Then I dry it off and let it fully air dry , then reassemble it back into the airbrush. This is usually all that is needed to remove any grime and fix the sticky trigger issue. The smallest amount of airbrush lube can be used on that trigger piston to lubricate the o ring, but this is rarely needed. Here's a video I made on it- hope it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp-6qqmjlNGHm5Y

[@Ariesmount]

@ Thank you so much!!

[@Xnightmares106]

I’m curious because I follow artist like hajimesorayama and bern foster they make retro aesthetic and they use airbrushes are there any brands that use professional paint for photo realism or any could because I use jacquard paint

[@shalafichg1]

6b , another cause of that is the painting it's too dense. You can use that for create some granite effect, but in general you can solve it adding a little more water...

[@Rich-in6ds]

Spidering is my biggest enemy. I want to work with thin paint so I can build-up colour gradually and I also want to work close so I can be precise. It is so hard to avoid spidering as a result, even with delicate trigger control.

[@theartworkshop]

You'll get it! I'd recommend practice on a test sheet or panel at lower pressures. You'll eventually find that sweet spot with your paint for detail without the spidering or a grainy spray pattern.

[@randomtvninja]

We're just gonna let him get away with saying malk.. like julien smith?? Awesome tips btw!

[@sahhull]

No single use plastic for me.. Buy glass lab bottles to store mixed paint for later.. You can clean them out later and they last. So works out cheaper. I also mix paint in a glass, shot glass. Doing my bit for the environment.
