This course will include everything from Base-Monochrome course plus a lot more:
After having learned the bare essentials from Intro to Airbrushing and with some newfound skills, strokes and deeper knowledge from the Monochrome Base Course- we arrive at the Full-Color Base Course… This is where the magic happens! From brush strokes and basic mechanics of an airbrush to more advanced brushing techniques and tools- you have even learned about gradients and how to properly utilize layering with just one color.
Now, we get to use a full range of colors to bring your masterpiece to life using everything you have learned up until this point! In this workshop, we will be discussing attention to detail and further your understanding of layering, as this is crucial when including multiple colors in the project. As the final course in this series of realist workshops, we will also focus a great deal on creating the realistic impact in your work and how to make that image ‘jump’ off the canvas as if it were alive!
