Here I am with another how to for your enjoyment and I hope town called Fairport. I have been airbrushing for 29 years and
further education into the awesome world of airbrushing. In airbrushed in Ft Walton Beach Fl back in 1984 for 1 season.
case you did not catch my earlier article on Bill Cosby my name
is Fred Wagner and I reside in Western NY in a small canal
Step 1 In this step I
have sprayed a light
mist of adhesive over
my t-shirt board and
then stretched my
cotton material over
the board, so that it
will not slip during air-
brushing of this paint-
ing and then I taped
the material as a pre-
caution on the back
side of the board. Af-
ter that I lightly misted
the material with a
mix of AquaFlow top
Step 2 In this step I use my HP-C and a mix of one half ounce of
binder and water and wiped in a downward stroke with
opaque white, six drops light brown, three drops red and five drops
a clean sandwich baggie over my hand to mat down any
of yellow. This color is the approximate medium tones of the overall
loose fibers. Once the fabric was dry I proceeded to draw
portrait. I paint just about the whole portrait as if it is the only color I
my subject onto the cotton with a soft orange art pencil so
will be using; paying very close attention to detail. I also try not to over
that the guidelines would not show in the final painting.
saturate any part of the material because this painting will demand
many layers of paint.
Step 3 In this step I use my Iwata Eclipse
because it can spay a larger volume of
paint. I now give the entire portrait a mist
of yellow to bring out the golden tone of
the flesh. I go a little light at this stage be-
cause I will be repeating this step several
times throughout the painting.
Step 4 In this step I use the same meth-
od as the last step but I am misting with
red and going very light and instead of
pure red I have mixed 4 drops of opaque
white with 8 drops of red to make a more
pink rose color. I also have started to fill
in the lips and the corners of the eyes at
this point.
