Product Description
The airbrush and its uses are explained in detail, starting with photos and cutaway diagrams of different types of airbrush. Instruction is given on ways of using an airbrush, both to enhance existing photographs and to create photo-like paintings. Self-teaching manuals for ambitious amateur artists, The Painter's Corner books can also serve as textbooks in the art classroom. Aimed at instructing both beginners and intermediate-level painters, these books explain the basics of drawing and painting and include sample projects to show artists how to achieve beautifully finished artworks.

 Not what I was looking for November 15, 2000
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought some books with Airbrush paintings a few years a go from a nearby half price books. I was always amazed at the quality of the paintings and got quite interested to learn how the technique works. I am not an artist myself, so I was not looking for a very detailed technical book, but detailed enough to explain someone like me how this great technique works. I hoped this book will be the key to my queries, but it wasn't. It does explain the technique, the tools and provides some samples, but I did not get the feeling that now I fully understand how Airbrush works. I also do not recommend this book if you want to learn to use paintbrush, it does not seem detailed enough for beginners. It may be useful if you already experienced this technique before using "hands on" and want some reference book for further exploration.
 Nothing more than an introduction... April 2, 2000
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is a quick and easy read for those interested or just beginning in the art of airbrushing. For those more experienced, and are looking to learn new techniques or enhance their already established skills, should look elsewhere. The chapters within are short and vague of details and procedures. Overall, the material of the book is nothing more than an introduction...possibly even, just a tease!
