How To Airbrush, Pinstripe & Goldleaf (Pro Paint Techniques)

This book was a good addition to my hobbie

Not what i was really looking for, I was looking for a little more info and tips on how to do ya know. The pages of the book were falling out as soon as i started reading it, I know its a paper back book but when it comes apart as soon as i open and start to read what the h&##

Interesting. Great photos. Could use more basics like thinning paint, trimming brushes and long straight line work. Over all a good read.

Was a decent book.

ok book need more basic "How to?"

Awesome book in great shape

There are a number of airbrush how-to books on the market, but there aren't very many that explain the art of goldleaf, and how to combine these two art forms (airbrush and goldleaf) along with pin striping to create the ultimate design.Cars or motorcycles are a passion for Tim Remus, who has lots of experience writing books geared to the automotive market and this one is another excellent publication. Tim mentions in the introduction that he believes that the best way for someone to learn how to do something is to watch how the professionals do it. And that's just what he's done here.There are 10 projects in this book that features over 500 really neat color photos. All the projects are completely explained and fully illustrated. They start with the easier examples and lead into the more complex, not unlike a good college textbook. The project examples are done by various professional artists, with a lot of talent and experience, I might add.I've been airbrushing (as a hobby) for awhile and I've been around automotive paints, so I was interested in getting my hands on this book, and I wasn't disappointed. I have never done gold leaf, but after reading the lesson, or the example, if you will, I am really ready to get into it.If you are interested in doing realistic flames, as I am, then you are in luck, because Tracy Hilger -TJ design has a new spin on laying down real fire. 'Neat stuff.Also, almost like a bonus, Mickey Harris has a complete in-depth chapter on the new SATAgraph airbrush. This chapter is complete with an exploded drawing of the new gun and a complete parts list, followed by 32 close-up photos of how to assemble the new airbrush.It's important to note that automotive paint is being used for the exercises because this book is designed for automotive or motorcycle applications, so that would make sense. In the question and answer parts of this book, the artist that is being interviewed covers the different kinds of paint they use, and how they use it.Just by following the examples, and with a little practice, I was able to lay down several decent pin striping designs. I like to practice pinstriping on a sheet of glass. That way, when I am done, I just wipe it off and start another design. As mentioned in the book, the automotive paint allows for more durability and there are many super bright pigments to choose from when picking out paint colors.This book covers a lot of ground in 144 pages and the author has done a great job putting it all together. The only criticism I might have is that I would liked to have seen a page devoted to the different types and sizes of brushes used in pinstriping.So, with that being said, I think this is a 5-star book, and one that will wind up on your work bench for reference or at least in your professional library.

Hilfreich für den Einstieg

downloaded no photos just the writing

Aucune indication pour reproduire ce qu'il y a dans le livre , c'est juste des photos étapes par étapes où l'artiste explique ce qu'il fait mais sans plus d'explications et de details

Great service and awesome product
