Steve Gibson's Grisaille Grey Airbrush Technique

[@youtoucan2312]

Thank you for your time Steve.

[@olliessurfgear]

Steve Gibson is incredible. He is a true artist that has what we are all after as fellow artist - a style that identifies him in his work. When I see an artwork he’s done, I instantly know it’s his. I would love to learn from him. Keep up the good work 🤙

[@Airoilandlead]

Hey! Thanks man! Been painting this way a long time… there is still more to explain about the kit, so look for that in the near furrier on this channel.

[@codyadams1766]

His artwork is always so nice, watching a bit of his process is awesome.

I bought the kit for a helmet and absolutely love it!

[@Airoilandlead]

Fantastic!

[@simoncarter679]

Very cool. Steve is a really interesting artist and it’s been awesome to see the exact idea behind the paint system. Thanks to all for making the video.

[@Airoilandlead]

Hey! Thanks Simon! Been painting this way a long time… there is still more to explain about the kit, so look for that in the near future on this channel- more info on the layering of transparent CMY and K and how to properly layer in transparent passes- as well as when to implement opaque color as above, both academically and intuitively.

[@tankbilt2063]

Steve is such an easy going guy! I could watch him work all day! 🙌

[@CreatexColors]

Thanks for watching!

[@13zedart]

Awesome video! Steve’s class at the airbrush art circus is also a must! I will definitely be trying out this system with my kit. ⚡️

[@ronaldkaler7162]

Yea video. Very informative. Before didn’t understand the color set or the process. Now I have a better understanding

All I can say is that you're an incredible artist and I feel privileged for having watched your video.

[@CreatexColors]

Thanks for watching!

[@phillipm6481]

Great video! Gibson does a great job explaining the technique. Been to a couple of his classes and this was very informative. I always learn something new from Steve. This technique has become my personal favorite way to paint… love those Createx Grisaille … Thanks for producing this video.

[@Airoilandlead]

Thanks Phil!

[@lindastevenson6642]

hello that look like a fun way to put on paint so kind to share 🖌

[@chikowhitey]

thanks Steve......I understand this process a whole lot better now after watching this vid

[@josephgonzalez9522]

Very nice Steve! I agree that the opaques give the painting more body!

[@Airoilandlead]

Hell yeah man…. More body like a true painting in the traditional sense. 👍

[@FlamingTikiAirbrush]

Good video my brother! Nice to see you staying active online. Hope to catch up with you live and in person sometime, somewhere this year.

[@davidsudmeier2949]

Nice overview of your mixing system and general technique!

[@Airoilandlead]

Thanks man!

[@adamakins9748]

Awesome video and tutorial I think i will be using the 9 scale technique in my future,

[@CreatexColors]

Thanks for watching!

[@shinecustomstravisswedziak8814]

I found myself starting in black and white and struggled, so I naturally made a neutral gray, that helped tremendously. Then I found Steve and found out he used 9 shades!! That has really opened up a lot of potential for me! Thanks Steve!! Awesome artist!

[@Airoilandlead]

Thanks man, the idea of working off of that neutral ground has been around a long time. Look at oil painters instead of airbrush artists and how they apply a Grisaille underpainting. That’s the majority of where this airbrush technique comes from, the motive in this approach can vary depending on the “what” and “why” you are doing what you are doing.

[@Diegojavbau]

So amazing

[@CreatexColors]

Thanks for watching!

[@bradpaynedesigns]

Great video, I actually watched the whole thing 🤣. I was dubious at first about the grisaille kit thinking it was just a clever way to sell more paint but this explains the process very well. 🤙 Big props to you mate

[@Airoilandlead]

Thanks brotha🙌👍

[@beartracksful]

Great teacher supized by the air pressure being so high iv got to try it

[@CreatexColors]

thanks for watching

[@magusreaver]

yeah that blew my mind.

[@cman1242]

Appreciate the content

[@juliehattis]

Lots of information! You've done an awesome job explaining step by step instructions. Thank you. Can you buy the paint kit on your web sight?

[@Airoilandlead]

Hey! Thanks! You can’t buy it there, but there should be a Createx link in the video description that takes you too the kit/purchasing.

[@louisliguore7199]

Great video, I haven't seen the technique that you used before, it was very informative. What airbrush did you use for the video, and what needle nozzle set did you use?

[@CreatexColors]

We believe Steve is using an Iwata Eclipse BCS with a 0.35mm tip. Thank you.

[@roberthossack286]

hi, new sub here, im a bit confused, plz help...your using createx illustration paint, which i believe is transparent, but what your using you keep referring to as opaque? ty rob.

[@CreatexColors]

Each Createx paint brand has a line of opaque as well as transparent colors, including Illustration Colors. Thank you. createxillustrationcolors.com/

[@JohnDoe-u3b]

Are the three CMY createx illustration colors transparent?

[@CreatexColors]

Yes, the CMYK Illustration Colors are transparent (actually translucent, only candy2o are truly transparent). Thank you.
