Books in the Learning to Paint series present descriptions of art tools and materials and explain how to use them to achieve professional results. The airbrush is an important tool that is used extensively in four-color commercial art projects, and modern professional art training is not complete until students have mastered airbrush art. Instructions are presented here in the form of eary-to-follow directions, step-by-step full-color illustrations of works in progress, and practical solutions to common problems.

From the Back Cover
Titles in The Painter’s Corner series are self-teaching manuals for ambitious amateur artists, but they can also serve as fine textbooks for the art classroom. This book’s instruction, advice, and illustrations describe the airbrush and its various uses. It includes photos and diagrams of different types of airbrush. Art students will learn how to use an airbrush, both to enhance existing photographs and to create photo-like paintings. A number of sample projects show how to achieve realistic and expressive detail.

Not what I was looking for,
By A Customer
This review is from: Airbrush (Barron's Learning to Paint) (Paperback)
I bought some books with Airbrush paintings a few years a go from a nearby half price books. I was always amazed at the quality of the paintings and got quite interested to learn how the technique works. I am not an artist myself, so I was not looking for a very detailed technical book, but detailed enough to explain someone like me how this great technique works. I hoped this book will be the key to my queries, but it wasn't. It does explain the technique, the tools and provides some samples, but I did not get the feeling that now I fully understand how Airbrush works. I also do not recommend this book if you want to learn to use paintbrush, it does not seem detailed enough for beginners. It may be useful if you already experienced this technique before using "hands on" and want some reference book for further exploration.
