The airbrush is a tool that has taken its place alongside other tools in the art world. It was invented in the late 1890s and its various applications have grown over the years, particularly as the avenues for expression have grown and a taste for customization has arisen. Very realistic effects can be obtained on all kinds of surfaces when used by an airbrushing artist. The techniques are fairly difficult to master and often require much practice to produce the required effects.
With the advent of computer graphic programs, using the airbrush for retouching photographs was no longer necessary. Other avenues for its use had to be found. It was only with the current craze for customization that its use has proliferated, affecting many different industries.
The tools themselves vary with a number of different types of attachments and tips but the basic principle is the same. When the trigger is depressed, air is released. It flows through a tube which gets smaller as it reaches the mix point. To get through this section, it needs to move faster. This decreases the pressure and the pressure in the repository for the paint, ink or dye is therefore higher. This causes the medium used to flow to the section of low pressure, feeding it into the airbrush and producing a fine mist.
The effects that can be obtained when using an airbrush make this tool invaluable to those who are experienced in using it. They have to understand the relationship between the tool itself, the thickness of the medium used and the amount of pressure that must be applied. They also have to understand how to manipulate the tool in various ways, holding it at different distances from the surface and at specific angles.
An airbrush can be used to create designs on just about any surface. Canvas, leather, fabric, wood, metal, glass and plastic are all suitable surfaces. One of the most popular applications is in the automotive industry. Motorbikes, cars and trucks are often seen with customized logos and designs.
The desire for customization is endless and people are always looking for new and unique ways to express themselves. T-shirts, handbags, boots and jackets are just some of the clothes and accessories that are decorated by airbrush artists. The cosmetology industry also uses these artists extensively, where they apply makeup to skin in this way rather than using brushes or other methods.
Successful artists will usually have extensive portfolios of work for clients to inspect. Clients may come with their own ideas and designs or they may not really know what they want. In this case, suggestions are usually made by the artist and ideas can be discussed together.
Creativity and originality as well as a steady hand are essential to producing good work. Success is often dependent on the time and effort spent in practicing and acquiring skills, sometimes alongside an experienced mentor. The incredibly detailed and realistic images these artists create have elevated the status of this art form and given it the popularity it enjoys today.
