Airbrush training is hard to come by … and as hard as I may try to show you what I know on this website, it just isn’t the same as being there, one on one, with somebody who really knows what they are doing.

or that reason, I am going to provide you with some information regarding the BEST airbrush training that is out there.

Now this is not a complete list – every city in the world has somebody teaching airbrush in it – but that doesn’t mean that they are good at it. By “good at it” I mean two More >

Cheap Airbrush DVDs: How to get yours for less!

Feb 11th

Posted by Shani in Airbrush Training

Cheap airbrush DVDs? Do they exist?!?

The answer is yes and no.

Airbrush DVDs are one of the most highly sought after airbrush training tools yet most people are turned off by their really high prices. A good quality DVD can cost you between $60 and $150 … and most people think that is absurd! Myself included.

How is it that producers of these airbrush DVDs can charge so much?

I think it all must be based on history… if you think back, it wasn’t very long ago that producing video was an extremely laborious and expensive task.
