AIRBRUSH TECHNIQUE - LEARN TO AIRBRUSH - View Single Post

Illustration board is an ideal surface for airbrush work, I use Cresent 5218and 9208. Bristol Board works well to-there are different weights. It has a smooth surface and the heavier weights are similar to illustration board. I like using bristol board pads for practice and it is what I most often spray on as I have limited time to work on airbrush projects at home. I wouldn't recommend leaving frisket on any surface for more than a few days as the longer it stays on the more likely it will damage the surface. I use a lot of paper for masking and it avoids that hard edge you get from frisket. try going to a real art store instead of AC moores and similar stores for better products. I hope this helps.
