Now that you have learned the basics (dots, lines, daggers strokes, shading and textures), Bob and Maryellen will push student’s skills to another level. By using stencils, transferring images can make airbrushing easier. With basic skills and new techniques, stenciling images can turn your work into something special. Participants will tackle projects that will incorporate elevated techniques to create pieces worthy of framing. These skills can then be applied to any projects that are needing a little pizzazz that only an airbrush can provide. Students will begin with a complicated project that will be broken down into a logical step-by-step process. This approach to laying out a piece with the “reduction method” will be useful for future airbrushing projects. The second day will consist of two projects to elevate basic skill sets to the next level. A stencil will be used to transfer the images, but students can add quite a few skills that will bring the pieces to a life-like finish. Students will work on two different substrates in order to offer different project experiences.
