"Some of the information in the book was helpful and I got some pointers. However this book is better for those who use stencil and not a lot of free hand."

  • I started airbrushing when I was in high school and have some formal schooing in art at the community college level. But, like many of us, I had to sacrifice my passion for this hobby when I started my working career (not as an artist). What limited time I did have to use my airbrush was nevertheless very rewarding for me. I have since retired and have been slowly getting back to my artwork. I have always wanted to try my hand at automotive airbrushing. My intentions were to learn some airbrushing techniques that I may have missed out on and to gain more knowledge regarding the automotive art craft. So, I purchased the book, Airbrush Painting Techniques, after reading its great reviews. I have not been disappointed. As the other reviewers have pointed out, Ms. Bortles' style of writing/teaching and the structure of the book, with its subject matter and presentation, are excellent and what I had hoped for. I found the author's sharing of her early experiences to be very inspiring. Her emphaisis on not getting discouraged has also been taken to heart.
  • Well, in general, the book is ok. The Indian Chief on the cover should have given me a clue.... it is mostly about painting motorcycle gas tanks, helmets, and the like. Much less about color theory, mixing paints, paint mediums, etc.....technical stuff we need to understand in order to paint well.
  • This book covers everything you want to know about airbrushing and more. Even has pictures inside. I purchased this for a friend who is just getting into airbrushing. He said that the book is the best he has seen. It is simple to read, and details given on techniques. I read it, and I thought the same thing very good book. It not only teaches techniques, but talks about the different and various airbrush guns available out there for purchase, as well as the paints and which types to use. Just cannot get over the fact that it has so much information inside it. Very well put together book.
  • Some of the information in the book was helpful and I got some pointers. However this book is better for those who use stencil and not a lot of free hand.
  • Nice product, worth the price!
  • This book gives you step by step instructions for gorgeous artwork. There were many helpful techniques and plenty of knowledgeable information
  • great help for airbrushing
  • Excellent book for beginners and pro's alike. Highly recommend
