Love the channel, keep the great work and thanks for helping me to get into airbrushing with the right technic. Cheers

[@ELPADREAIRBRUSH]

Oh I ordered the air shot MEDUSSA stencil !!! I’m so excited!! it’s coming from airgunner products of florida and I also ordered the air shot tiger! The same you did !! Thanks again for all your instructions!! Marc

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thats excellent, Spraygunner are great ...have fun with the stencils, I may need to get the medusa tutorial done now lol 😂👍🏻

[@ELPADREAIRBRUSH]

@@AirbrushAsylum I went into your website and I am putting together an order ! For you but I really want reaper #10 the way you did that was amazing I want that one and the lucky 13 stencils but the reaper is out of stock so I’m gonna pick something else and when it’s available I’ll reorder again! So probably the next day or two I’ll place my order with your AWSOME company!

[@AirbrushAsylum]

@@ELPADREAIRBRUSH thank you really appreciate that but just letting you know that unfortunately through our website we only ship Australia wide, that said feel free to get in contact via our website contact form and I can help you with your order and sort out international shipping 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ELPADREAIRBRUSH]

@@AirbrushAsylum thank you my friend ! I had to stop my cretex white kept on making the gun sputter and make it run like crap and I was literally cleaning the tip every 5 seconds so I’m gonna thin it down again and try again tomorrow lol! A fellow airbrush artist said to use distilled water instead of 4011 reducer and it has a shelf life of forever ! As long as it’s sealed have you ever used distilled water to reduce your paints ? Thank you for your help Marc

[@ELPADREAIRBRUSH]

Another awesome video my friend I watched all you videos and in almost all your videos you say PAINT ON PAINT OFF! And this may sound crazy but I silently say that to myself when I’m painting to remember to keep the air on ! You have me so preprogrammed I have a full tank system now and I literally have the system kicking on cause I keep the air on!! Cause I’m so paranoid about letting go too soon ! I made a song I sing to remember your teaching it’s called PAINT ON PAINT OFF KEEP THE AIR ON!! Another great instruction video airbrush Jedi master ! Your amateur student Marc

[@AirbrushAsylum]

thanks Marc, appreciate your ongoing support and I am glad that 'paint on...paint off' is getting through to you as it is really so important but I think your version with the addition of 'keep the air on' is even better, keep up the great work and appreciate the comment 🙏🏻

[@adisamma]

I usually pinch the airbrush in between my two thumbs. That gives a more precise motion and more applicable strength to the air.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

sounds interesting 🤔 but...hey, whatever works 👍🏻

[@RCBOSS1969]

Thank you!

[@AirbrushAsylum]

You're welcome!

Picked up airbrushing for the first time during the pandemic (largely through this channel). Arrival of second child meant I put it away for a while, but finally found it's way back out again in recent weeks. Great fun - although I'm getting problems with both tip drying (this video confirmed I am using largely the correct technique) and moisture from the compressor. I use an Iwata compressor and try to regularly empty the moisture trap while I'm airbrushing, but it seems inevitable that at some point during painting I'm going to get a nice big wet painty splat over my artwork. Is the only way to avoid this to just not have the compressor running for too long? At the moment I'd say it's after 20-30 minutes that I start becoming aware of it. Great channel. Thanks.

[@jc2200]

I would highly suggest getting a compressor with a tank. Don’t know where you are located. Here in the states I bought a California air tools air compressor: 1 hp 8 gallon tank with 70 decibels and no water in the line. Tankless air compressors get got pretty easy, which creates to much moisture that can lead to what you’re referring to. Maybe airbrush asylum can suggest something as well cheers.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thanks for your kind words re : my channel and glad you are getting back into airbrushing. In regards to your compressor, not sure which iwata compressor you have but anything from an IS 875 upwards should be able to handle quite a few hours of painting without it beginning to overheat and create moisture within your line, if you are using a smaller one like the Ninja or silverjet then they are better suited to smaller applications ie .. miniatures and cake decorating. If you do have one of the larger models then you may want to get it looked at, as it sound as though the moisture trap is failing ? You may still have warranty ? The other option is to get a compressor with a tank so that you can paint for longer without it turning on all the time, this will save you lots of moisture issues, also keep in mind where you are airbrushing, a humid climate will always yield more issues when it comes to moisture, hope that helps. 🤞🏻😉

The painting tablet your using, can you give me a link to buy one. I am just starting out with Airbrush and that tablet would be great for learning.

[@douglaszeeff8052]

Thanks for a lot of great information!

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Glad it was helpful 😉

[@kennethlindsay2052]

The Painting book you use on the easel, where do you get that. I think its great for testing and learning without buying a something expensive. love your shows, Just getting into Air Brushing.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

thanks for your kind words and glad you enjoy my vids, this book is from kmart here in Australia but you can also find them in $2 dollar shops scattered across Australia, I'm sure amazon or any stationary / art shop should have something similar, the one I use is A3 in size 👍🏻

[@michaking3734]

Then why a button to press for air, the air can always be on without pressing a button?

[@goforitpainting]

Really cool.

[@Dis4b3L]

How do you transfer this to miniature painting?

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Just focus on mastering your double action ie..keeping the trigger pressed down at all times and only pull back on the trigger when you require paint. 🤘🏻

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid thanks lee

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Glad you enjoyed it

So, it's like a clutch - you feather it like a clutch in a manual

[@Sarge-1972]

Paint on Paint off , Wax on Wax off ,.... Well since using rattle can for years wonder why it comes out like in the beginning. of the video Practice practice practice .

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Yep...I can't say it enough, getting that double action technique dialed in is SO important 🙏🏻

[@dillardparker7546]

Don Eddy would disagree with your generalization of the single-action airbrush. Look at his work and see what you can achieve.

[@GoodArtorias]

An exception doesn’t make the rule. You should look into that.

[@dillardparker7546]

@@GoodArtorias it isn't an exception to the the rule. There are no rules. There are outcomes and the means to an end. The artist will determine the outcome based on his path through his process. The airbrush is a tool. The artist will determine whether or not it will get the results desired. For an artist to say that his way is the only way to get results precludes the fact there are other ways to achieve the same degree of finish by way of alternative applications. There are always alternatives.

[@dillardparker7546]

@@GoodArtorias what exactly should I look into. I have been airbrushing for a long time.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Fair enough...I did say that the single action airbrush does have a place in airbrushing, but...to use it to create art (as impressive as that is what Don Eddy is doing) would make the whole process SO much more difficult hence why 99.9% of artists use double action airbrushes....Don Eddy's Art is astounding...and I have even more respect for him, that he has created that quality of work with a single action airbrush . 🤯
