Airbrush Step by Step (english) Magazine

29 June 2017

Are you still buying your home decoration, clothing or birthday invitation cards in the shop? Then you missed the trend: Do it yourself. Whether made of fabric, paper, wood or metal, sewing or timbering, painting or pasting – everyone is crafting around his home, the way he or she wants it. A dream for airbrush artists. Which other crafting technique is as flexible as airbrushing? With the airbrush, you could actually „decorate“ the walls of your dining room, the cake on the table as well as the face of the hostess at the same time (just don’t confound the paints!). You can find some inspiration on this topic in this issue: Following the trend of „upcycling“, Christoph Kottemölle grabbed an old skateboard and turned it into a real „itpiece“ using airbrushing and comic mounting techniques. You can also call all the modellers and RC cars enthusiats the pioneers of the DIY trend. Ready-made cars are absolutely not in demand. That’s also how Mark Wierzbicki started airbrushing. In his article, he shows the „terrifying“ painting process of a Lexan car body. From modelling to cakes: This is the extraordinary way of Dutch man Edwin Weimer, about which he tells us in an interview. Ending up at tea time, ASBS editor Roger Hassler shows you how to paint a complete tea set. Of course, we don’t want to forget about the classic illustration art, which is shown by the Columbian artist Adriano Ayerbe with his bald eagle as well as the SK-Brush brothers featuring their Maya Skull. But as already stated above: With airbrushing, everything seems to be a kind of „Do it yourself“ – but this trends already lasts for more than 120 years. So we wish you a creative summer. Maybe you’ll send us a few images of your Airbrush-DIY projects! The Airbrush Step by Step team
