Within this video I'll be going over my top 10 tips that I use every day to get the very best performance out of my airbrush. I will cover how I set my pressure, reduce my paint, handle tip dry, and the trigger technique that I use. Issues and problems will come up when you are painting with an airbrush, so I'll also cover the common things to look out for and how to resolve them. I spent a very long time making this video, so I do hope that it helps some of you along the way.
