15 Minute Painting- Keep it Simple

Simple painting you can do in 15 minutes, great for custom painters as a background filler

[@lilithskyblue]

Excellent! Love the subtle effect airbrush gives and so fast too! I must get one, thanks!

[@eugenekaub8446]

first actual painting ive tried, aside from doodling and practice, great mix of techniques to get my confidence up and learn to loosen up a bit, thank you.

This is genius👌👌, thank you for sharing🙏🙏

[@sandrajohnson2489]

Thank you for sharing this. Amazing work. It's very clear that you have been doing this for a long time. So professional.

[@aljensen7779]

I hope you do lots more of these 15 min paintings. I watched this three times, printed out a reference then went to work. I published the result on Facebook and the reactions have been second to none. So far, I had only painted leaves & fire, both from stencils. When I started this, I did so with total abandon - no more hangups and the result is 'Fantastic', 'Awesome', etc. You make it look so easy and, it wasn't difficult at all. Seeing how easily you did the moon beams sold me on giving it a try. Thank you for improving my artwork so effortlessly.

I am a Finish Sprayer by trade, and an artist by hobby, so I felt the airbrush would fit into some of my artistic talents. Anyone can grab a sprayer and use stencils....but you really demonstrated an amazing "freehand." Thank you for your time and tips. It's appreciated!

[@anthonyanzalone9742]

I'm a photo realist person; Have always used graphite, conte' and ink. I've been using airbrush for a short time now to bring photorealism into ultra realism. You sir, are phenomenal. Just phenomenal. Anyone who thinks you work too slowly is obviously an amateur or a cartoonist that lacks any sense of precision and patience. They simply do not have what it takes to push these tools including the airbrush to it's limits of function and form. The fact that you're running at what sounds like 120+psi is testament to your control over this medium. Again, phenomenal. I call you Apex!

Thank you 👍👍👍

[@mickeyracer]

Douglas Taylor thank you, best of luck with it, practice your strokes for 10-15 mins (dots, lines and blends) then paint something, the more you chock up those paintings the more you will improve versus just lines and dots...etc.., 👍👍👍

This is amazing but the bright white in the left tree is annoying. I think it needs abit more black to kind of fade it .

[@zigzagduck952]

Love the feeling you have created with the background, you have great control with the brush. I will be buying my first airbrush soon, could you recommend a versatile airbrush? I will be experimenting with different paints and surfaces.

[@mickeyracer]

zigzag duck there are a couple i would recommend depending on your budget Sparmax max 3 or max 4, great airbrush for the money and around the £50 mark. (Used in this video) Iwata eclipse hp-cs. One the the best built airbrushes on the market (imo) almost bulletproof. Around £130-£140 mark. Thanks Mick

[@DNozz777]

[@davideraimondi7892]

hi can i ask you on which material are you painting? what panels are they?

[@philkennedy1105]

Hi what's that stencil you use for trees in distance did you make that yourself ? I'm just starting out with airbrush I do paintings but thought it would be good to learn to airbrush thanks love how easy you make it look 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@stretch4960]

What horsepower compressor and what moisture trap do you use? I have two Iwata, a Paashe and a Binks airbrushes. Hands down the Iwata are the best but I believe I could do better with my compressor and moisture trap. If you have time I would greatly appreciate your input. I also want to thank you for sharing. You have taught me much already and I just recently found you on KZbin. I look forward to learning more.

[@blinxnimgonechung3954]

How did you switch between black and white so fast? 2 airbrushes?

[@projectorgaming9528]

Awesome man. Just got a new airbrush after not having one for years and stumbled on your video. How did you make that stencil, just cut out small random shapes with a hobby knife?

[@mickeyracer]

Projector Gaming its a texture stencil from artool, but if you split a scotchbrite or kitchen scourer in half you can get a pretty similar effect, thanks Mick

[@geekay101]

Learnt a lot, thank you. Please include the pressure setting, and how thin the paint is if you would.

[@mickeyracer]

Airpressure is 15psi paint is generally 2 parts reducer to one part paint

[@MrNugs67]

Hi Mick; What do you use to clean your stencils? I find that if I am cleaning a stencil with small groves, the edges want to lift up. Do you clean your stencils and if so, what's the best method? Thanks PS: Love your videos.. Hope there will be more from you...

[@mickeyracer]

Blackgold67 hiya mate, if im honest i very rarely clean my stencils, but most of the ones i use tend to be freehand shields, made from mylar. these will take a good bit of thinners or gunwash without any damage, im very lucky that i did a lot of signwriting when i was younger so im pretty nifty with a scalpel blade so i tend to cut my own if i need any. i suppose the best answer i can give you is, if they are bought stencils from lets say Artool they will be solvent proof so will take thinners to clean them, try to work away from any pointy bits as not to curl them (bit like wiping a blade if that makes sense) ive got a few more videos coming up, which i hope everyone get some value from, thanks again and happy painting mick

Nice video. Thanks. What brand/type of paints do you use?

[@mickeyracer]

Createx illustration

[@T_Kempf]

Wow. This looks amazing. I've been painting miniatures with an airbrush for years... I want to try something like this... Where do I get started? Are you using a canvas? What size needle? What kind of paint (miniature paint is about 4$ for about 15ml and on such a big surface....)?

[@T_Kempf]

Wish you had shown how to do the highlights on the scythe and on top of the hood, as well as "sharpen/focussing" the scythe, especially at the tip. Same with the lat branches you added. They look very sharp. Did you have to clean them up with white after painting the original branch? Man this stuffs amazing. I legitimately never thought people were using airbrushes for things like this 😅

[@user-xu1ot2ff3k]

С огромным удовольствием наблюдал за процессом. Впечатляет! Но в конце вы положили тень не в ту сторону. Я тоже рисовал когда то. И нигде этому не учился, как и вы. И я тоже часто допускал подобную ошибку. Но всё равно - Вы мастер!!!

Great work! though, the place ment of the shadow is wrong. look at the location of the moon beam. :)

Hi, thanks for the beautiful video and the beautiful drawing ... sorry but I don't understand English very well ... please can you explain to me why until about 2:10 the color is white and then as if by magic it becomes black too if it is evident that you do not add color (from 2:10 to 2:33)?
