newbie unusual question

[farmerspixie]

I got an airbrush for Christmas! I didn't ask for it........ didn't know any thing about them and neither did the buyer!
Here's the problem, I have a hand/wrist injury that makes it very difficult to hold a normal paint brush or pen. My pen is as fat as a magic marker. Which brush is the biggest around.. not longest? I plan to do t-shirts and can't wait!
Thanks......

The Paasche VL is quite fat, if not the fatter..

My wife does not like skinny pins ether she gets these fome selves that go around her pins this could work on your airbrush there about 3/4" round she got them at Staples give them a try and there soft and stretchy

The VL is good. I know an artist who built up his brush and jar set up with tape to have it so he can hold them with an open hand. He has carple tunnel syndrome and this helps to prevent the pain. I WISH I had some pics for you. You could add tape to the barrel of the brush to give it greater diameter just be sure the tape doesn't hinder the trigger movement

Thank you everyone!
I can't wait to get a better airbrush than the one I was given! Since I live in the sticks I think I will have to order it online, so I won't be able to try it out first.

I live in the Philadelphia area,and order almost all my airbrush stuff on line.
The only real draw-back is you can't hold the bursh in your hand before you buy

The Badger Cresendo is a big chunkie airbrush also--it might bear looking into..the only luck I've ever had was to order my equipment through a reputable mail order..Craft & hobby shops as a general rule are way too expensive, & they know so very little about what they're even selling!!--the drawback being that you can't examine your purchase..what boondocks do you live in farmerspixie??--good luck to you..

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the help!

Darla, I live in Jetersville, VA........ about an hour west of Richmond......

I'm off to look at the Badger........

...Welcome. I have a few weapons in my arsenol. 2 IWATTAS,2 THAYER & CHANDLER, and a PAASCHE VL. I would have to say that my VL has the thickest body. I've been banging on my VEGA 2000 alot lately,so I'd have to say I like the sleek,thin feel of it.
I'd say the VL would suite you nicley......The most important thing...Is to BE COMFORTABLE,as you paint...or should I say create....Good Luck.

I use the cresendo, it is one "chunkie" pen for sure. I need something a bit thinner like the HP line, maybe next week . The Cresendo is a pretty good brush but hitting the thin lines is tough for me..
