Hello from The Hills

[MrMcFrey]

Hi1,My name's Bill and I bought my first airbrush kit recently.......So when I get my compressor next week.......look out!!..naw seriously I've wanted to learn for a lonnnng time and finally just said what the hey.....cant work any more got plenty of time now to start learning,and later on be asking questions call me a dumb hillbilly but I been around the block a couple times and made some beautiful things but that airbrush has been calling my name for years,I havent been reading much on the subject until recently cause for me to learn I gotta have the thing in my hands,you know what I mean?Ok just wanted to say hey from the mountains...take care

Hello to you MrMcFrey.. I think you'll find the airbrush to be the most interesting art tool you've ever picked up..It's very addictive & it's simple enough with "practice" to get real good at handling it..you may be in for an interesting adventure.. I'm sure you'll be back with a lot of questions..

[hillbilly1955]

Bill,
Sorry to hear about your wifes medical problems. Nothing in this world is more valuable than good health. I wish the best for you and yours a like. Maybe getting into the airbrush world will give you the peace and satisfaction that you will find. It is a satisfing hobby until you "oops" then it can get aggrivating but all in all it is enjoyable. Enjoy and post some pics when you get creative.

Welcome MrMcFrey! You will love it here and when you hit some frustration with the airbrush, just work on through. There are a lot of talented and giving artists on this board and you will be amazed at how quickly you improve your skills with each work you do.

[MrMcFrey]

like I said before I love the airbrush,I'm going this Thurs. to get my compressor so I can get started already got people asking how much I charge but hey I'm not going that route....just yet.I wanna do some squiggly lines and all the other practice things before that happens,Hillbilly1955(same year I was born) it was a devastating blow to the whole family my wife got sick about a week after our grandaughter was born,she really looked forward to being a mama,to her but now she doesnt like too many people that much anymore but hey I got her back and that's all that matters,the grandaughter is Papa's little girl now and I think the wife dont like that much,but the wife could've been alot worse thanks for saying what you did,I dont like telling too many people about the sickness she has cause some might think I'm trying to get some pity,and boy believe me alot of times I need it lol
