New Tutorial Video Airbrushing a Custom Pony

[okiegurl1981]

I finally got around to making my most requested custom video.  Airbrushing a pony.
It's a little short, and a little rambly, but it gets the job done.

I usually run some cleaner thru it as soon as I'm done painting.  I also take it apart, and clean it out just so I don't get tons of paint clogging up the tip.  I did some google searches for tutorials on taking apart my specific airbrush.

Thanks for the vid! I've had an airbrush sitting in the corner since Christmas!
Just wondering, is it okay to use acrylics in them? :S

Yes, that's all I use in mine.  I have some Createx acrylics that are specifically for airbrushes, so I don't have to thin them out.  I use other acrylics in it (like folk art and Delta Ceramcoat) I just thin them out so they flow thru my gun.

Because I got thin enamel? paint (I can't remember what it was called) and thinned it out... and I litterally got nothing out of it, just watery gunk! haha so I was wondering! Thanks

[okiegurl1981]

Enamels won't work on ponies, for some reason they never dry correctly.  They always end up making the pony sticky.  Acrylics all the way.

Oh Okie, I love your videos, and watching this one I just thought... bless your heart. Who are these people who think an airbrush is a kind of paint brush? You get all the fun ones!

Thank you! I've been interested in learning how to airbrush for a while now. Where is it cheapest to get an airbrush and air compressor system?
