Hyperrealistic freehand Airbrush project on wood!!- Rose beetle

My name is Melina, I am a full-time artist and specialized in realistic colored pencil, airbrush and graphite work. I feel so honored to be able to combine my great passion for animals with my creative abilities. From an early age, I spent many hours observing animals closely and trying to show my perception with all types of pencils.
This time I share with you, how I painted this rose beetle on a wooden panel. I really love the vibrant colors and had so much fun on this project. I hope you like the end result as well :) Let me read your thoughts below please.

Very nice work. You do great stuff. Do you have to put something on the wood before you airbrush on it

I would like to start painting my little wood project with airbrush but I don't know which kind of paint I can use. Principally water based paint or anyone is ok depending on density? Thanks so much

How do you keep your airbrush from getting tip dry?
