    An important aspect of airbrush artwork is to be able to see colors for what they truly are .... ... I know, I know ... I harp about color theory all the time!

Part 1 First I came up with a plan ... and sketched it all out. Part 2 The I worked solely on the...

You guys have to see this cool time lapse camera!  So wicked!  Me want!

With my new 2012 commitment to post a YouTube video every Saturday, I have been exploring options for creating time lapse videos.   I wanted the time lapse aspect for three reasons:

  • time lapse is really entertaining to watch – it’s almost like performance art
  • I paint slow … much slower than the 15 minutes YouTube gives me … so for you to ever see a full piece it has to be sped up
  • time lapse is incredibly satisfying to me … there’s something about watching yourself paint something that More >

Daniel Power: Power Series 2 Review

Posted by Shani in Airbrush Videos

I just recently did an airbrush DVD swap with a friend I made through this website … I sent him Mike Lavallee’s True Fire DVD and he sent me Daniel Power’s Power Series 2.  Swapping DVD’s is something I highly recommend to people as airbrush DVDs are ridiculously expensive and frankly, having your own personal collection is not very valuable as after you’ve watched them a few times I find that your rarely go back to them.

What Daniel Power’s Power Series 2 Includes:

I just realized that in transferring my website over to this new cooler platform that I totally FAILED to upload all of the videos that I have up on my YouTube channel!

This is the first one in the series and, like all first attempts at anything, it kinda sucks! LOL!  The other ones are better!

At the moment there are about 7 of these videos up on YouTube and to get them up on this site, I will post one a week for the next few weeks … so keep your eyes peeled!  Or, just double click the video above and More >
