Aprille, I'm sure you'll figure out what avenue you would like to take with the airbrush--you ask excellent questions & that will get you further, faster..I'm sure you've probably learned a lot so far.. You want to move the trigger quite a bit--that's the beauty of a double action airbrush. You can gain so much control with it, & make it do just about anything you want it to...it's a lot like working a clutch in a car, & although it takes a delicate touch it soon becomes second nature--that's what the dots are for--have you got some dots for me to see?? Make lots of dots in a creative pattern, & all the time working with your AIR ON--you turn the paint supply OFF with the trigger, but leave the air on..work that trigger-You will have to wipe the tip dry every 10 seconds or so, but even leave your air on when you do this..-working the trigger of your airbrush is the key to success..

go on back to practice now--
