  1. Of course, the brush isn't much good without air. I think a lot of people get discouraged when they start using their first air brush. Those little cans of propellant will just barely get you started and, you'll go broke buying them. Try some pawn shops for a nail gun unit. They're noisier than the purpose built artists compressor. You may have to buy a hose. A quick disconnect fitting is a must for me. Prices will usually run under $50. I've been using an airbrush for 30 years. It's similar to carving leather. The only way you can learn is to do it.
  2. Air brushes generally either control only the air flow (single stage) or the air flow and media (paint, dye, ink, etc.). Single stage air brushes create low pressure in a nozzle which "sucks" the dye or paint into the air stream, spraying it onto the surface. You may change the density of the media by altering the air pressure, adjusting the nozzle or, replacing the nozzle and "needle" with a different size. All these comments also apply to the two stage air brush however, it will also feature a more adjustments which my be varied while in use. For a single stage I would recommend the Paasche or Badger. Two stage, definitely, the Iwata; expensive and worth every dime.
  3. This is a fine piece of work. If you are located in Portland, I greet you as a displaced Oregonian now living in Texas.
