1. Learning airbrush is easy…

… but it does take practice. Lots and lots of practice.

2. The best lessons are learned by making mistakes…

… lots and lots of mistakes.

3. Speed takes time…

… so don’t be discouraged when you watch all those youtube videos of people painting t-shirts at breakneck speed. Remember that they paint t-shirts day-in, day-out.

4. Start simply…

… don’t tackle a full wall mural in your first week. Relax – you’ll get there.

5. Break it down into smaller pieces…

… so you don’t get overwhelmed.

6. Know there is always more to learn…

… so once you ace one technique, look for another to learn.

7. Know your color theory…

… I promise it will make the biggest difference in your work…

8. Celebrate your successes…

… but don’t get cocky. You need to be able to consistently paint amazing paintings before you tackle someone’s motorcycle – know you ability, and paint to it.

9. Paint often…

…because it’s amazing how much skill you lose as a few days / weeks pass.

10. Keep it fun…

…this is important…remember why you started airbrush painting in the first place and try your hardest to keep it light and fun!
