This is the complete how-to book, showing both
beginning and experienced artists how to airbrush,
pinstripe, and goldleaf. Meant for automotive and
motorcycle applications, the projects seen in this new
book are done primarily with automotive paints because
of their durability and super bright pigments.The
projects themselves range from simple airbrush and
pinstripe art, to more complex graphics and flame jobs
that require the use of all three art forms.12
start-to-finish how-to sequences make up the bulk of
this book. Each is documented from the first sketch to
the multiple steps that lead to finished art. Nothing is
left out, the photo record of each project is thorough
and captures each part of the process. Captions are
written by the artists, making each chapter more like a
one-on-one teaching session than a simple how-to
lesson.Each of these sequences is done by a well known
artist, men and women like Leah Gall, Lenni Schwartz,
Vince Goodeve, and East Coast Artie. And each artist
takes time out from painting for a Q&A session.
Learn why Leah Gall uses an Iwata airbrush, why Lenni
Schwartz prefers a double-zero brush from Mack and which
brand of gold leaf Keith Hanson prefers.Though there are
other books that discuss pinstriping or airbrush art,
there are very few books that cover all three means of
embellishing and personalizing cars, trucks and
motorcycles. With 144 pages and over 500 color photos,
How-To: Airbrush, Pinstripe and Goldleaf belongs on the
book shelf of any aspiring or established
artist.
