With its .2mm hand polished needle the Paasche Vision airbrush can achieve INCREDIBLE detail. Passche really stepped up their game when they released this a few years ago as they phased out the famous AB turbine airbrush. This airbrush is no joke!

I love love paasche airbrush. 🤩
I recently returned to Paasche!! I purchased the TA#2. I was stuck overpaying for Iwata parts, whenever a tip or needle would get bent!! They had me over a barrel!! But, NO MORE!!!! I started out with the VL#3, as a t- shirt artist. And, I loved embarrassing my coworkers! I could pull a finer line, with my #3 needle than they could, with the finest needle that Iwata had ta offer!! I am so, INCREADIBLY happy, now that I have the best, back in my hands!!!!! PAASCHE RULES!!! find me at docgomez6, on Instagram…
Been itching to try this bad boy…keep me posted as you use it

Paasche is truly awesome!! I’d pick Paasche over iwata…lol…I just did!!!

The Harder & Steenbeck Ultra is a high quality airbrush stripped down to the essentials. It uses the same .2mm needle and nozzle as the higher priced H&Ses, so the quality is there but the features are limited. Perfect for the beginner who just wants to focus on learning the craft. For more advanced users who like working with the needle cap off, better to step up to the Evolution or Infinity line because as you can see here the needle and nozzle cap are one piece on the Ultra. 🤓 Read full Review.

Chuck Close is best known for his photo-realistic giant portraits. As the name suggest, the intent of a photorealistic painter is to make the painting exactly like a photograph and Chuck Close was one the greatest of all time at doing do. To create his uncanny duplicates of photographs, Close put a grid pattern on the photograph and on the canvas and proceeded to duplicated it cell by cell. His tools for this included an airbrush, rags, razor blade, and a home made electric eraser which he fashioned by mounting an eraser onto a power drill. His first painting with this method was created in 1968 titled Big Self Portrait; a black and white enlargement of his face onto a 9 by 7 foot canvas. It took three months to create.

H.R. (Hans Ruedi) Giger may be the most famous artist to prolifically use an airbrush. The vast majority of his early paintings were done with thinned acrylic paints sprayed through an airbrush. He was very creative in finding objects to use as stencils such as machine parts and templates that he would use in a repetitive manner to create his fantastic and often frightening bio-mechanical creatures and landscapes.
One of the pioneers in bringing airbrush into the world of fine art was an avant-garde artist by the name of Man Ray. Man Ray worked in a variety of materials and was a contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements. He loved the airbrush for its ability to produce an industrial like appearance with no brush strokes. Around 1919 he produced a series called “Aerographs” in which he used hand made stencils as well as household objects as stencils.
This amusing illustration for a paper advertisement is by William Addison Dwiggins. It pokes fun at airbrush artists of the time. It depicts of a weary artist, slouched in an armchair, using an airbrush to create a painting while a servant operates the hand-pump compressor and a monkey holds up a stencil for him. Many artists looked down their nose at those who used airbrushes and especially stencils. There was resistance to this new “machine” being intermingled into art and illustration. This stigma somewhat still exists today and most fine art schools still do not teach airbrushing.
The compressor depicted is actually somewhat realistic in that back then compressors for an airbrush were hand pump as were early vacuum cleaners.
