With its sophisticated system of spraying color selectively, the airbrush can cast such a spell of glamour, dynamism, and sheer artistic appeal that almost every printed advertising image we see has been radiantly transformed by its use. This book is the ultimate in airbrush information both for studio professionals and ambitious amateurs, it takes the reader through a course on technique then goes on to explain more advanced exercises and concludes with an important section on care and maintenance. It also gives a detailed history of the development of the airbrush as a modern artist's tool. It presents a full color gallery of works by every major artist and illustrator.
