Paint Questions

[APRILLE]

I am using regular poster board from wally world to practice on, I noticed that when I get close and try to do a fine line the paint runs, Is it a combination that I don't know what I am doing and the paper? I have a hard time getting a fairly sharp thin line to make my circle in lesson 2 and the tree's in lesson 3.

Also on the dagger strokes, it feels strange to start off with more paint and move forward while letting off the paint. Any tips for the newbie here?

Hi Aprille
about paint run when getting close, try to lower the airpressure abit
(psi) this might help,
Hmm,,(Daggerstrokes)why not try doing them like you want to do there's no
how you should or not should do these are just guidence how to learn airbrushing,,you will find your own technique after a while,
i'm doing them both ways from thick to thin and thin to thick
eh,,i 'm not sure this was the answer you was looking for though,,
have fun
