Airbrushing Made Simple

Your First Training Plan

Learn the right setup, practice the right drills, and get results faster. Airbrushing isn’t about talent — it’s about mastering a few simple fundamentals.

Step 1

Set Up for Success

Before practicing, make sure your setup removes the common frustrations that slow beginners down.

Compressors

Use one that can deliver at least 20–28 PSI. Anything weaker and your blends won’t flow smoothly.

Paint & Thinner

Use the matching thinner and cleaner for your paint brand. If you’re unsure, start with a 1:1.

Paint Amount

Less is more. For example, to prime a miniature, you only need around 5 drops paint + 5 drops thinner.

Airbrush Choice

The Ultra’s trigger system enforces the correct “down–back–forward–up” rhythm, so you build muscle memory without fighting the mechanics.

Step 2

Core Drills to Train Control

Each of these exercises builds one of the three essential skills: trigger control, distance, and movement speed.
