Airbrush Book Views
Award-winning airbrush artist and author Pamela Shanteau has been custom painting professionally for over 30 years. Her work has appeared in numerous international art publications, calendars and magazines. She is the best-selling author of The Ultimate Airbrush Handbook, published in 2002. Pami’s instructional DVDs on automotive airbrushing are available through her web site, www.pamelashanteau.com. Pam and her husband Donn Shanteau team up to host airbrushing workshops and appear at conventions nationwide.
The Ultimate Airbrush Handbook covers every imaginable airbrush application and presents basic information on equipment and mediums, airbrush operation, essential exercises, studio setup and how to develop original source material - all in an easy-to-understand style and format accessible even to beginners. Also featured are special demonstrations by such airbrush luminaries as A.D. Cook, Sheri Hoeger, Kirk m“The Dashing Duffera” Lybecker, Andrea Mistretta, Mark Rush and Richard Sturdevant. Experienced airbrushers who have - or who want to start - their own businesses will appreciate the wealth of tips, trips and techniques that are revealed throughout.
Osprey have made a name for themselves in producing publications of use to modellers and researchers. The recent series of OSPREY MASTERCLASS books are squarely aimed at the modeller in both subjects covered and format of the books. The book under review here, published in 2008, concerns airbrushing and finishing scale models and unsurprisingly goes by that very title.
For me and I'd suggest any modeller with an airbrush wanting to gain more knowledge, this represents a great book beautifully produced that answers all the modellers questions regarding airbrushing and paint preparation in general. Only a professional airbrush artist might find anything absent among its pages.
