Airbrush: mobile art

The Birth of airbrushing can be attributed to ancient times, when cave men painted the walls with spray paint through a straw from his mouth. Such paintings found in caves Laskauks in France. A founder of airbrushing in its modern sense was the inventor Abner Peyler. It was he who 150 years ago in America, invented a device "feeder house painter, spray liquid paint with compressed air. After 20 years, his name was changed to "airbrush» (Air Brush, Air Brush). Two brothers - Liberty and Charles Volkap - in 1881, bought the patent from Peylera and added to the dispenser trigger that controls the air and paint independently. Airbrush - a technique for printing on the surface of automobile, motorcycle and other items with an airbrush. Airbrush - air brush device for spraying paint. He has a fairly narrow range of spray adjustment. The device causes a rather subtle touches, even a small size that allows us to make the most intricate designs. Printing on the car is as follows: after defining the topic and location of images (including color, and sometimes the machine model) developed a sketch (with pictures and auto photo editor). Then comes the preparation of body parts, which will be applied to the picture - the top layer of lacquer matting with sandpaper, then paint to better lay on the paint, cleaned minor defects on the surface. Finally he applied to the picture used for this purpose prepared in advance of paint, mixed colorist or artist. After airbrushing to detail is applied lacquer, and after its solidification, it is polished. Of course, reshivshiesya decorate your car pattern should follow him during further operation, in case of scratches to make the abrasive polishing. What do they think people who are willing to pay good money for something that their machine has become the object of attention? They think that now their exclusive car stands out from the masses like him, that figure will tell about the personality of the owner, his character, and that for these reasons that airbrushing can be called a kind of guarantee against theft. And what is guided by people who can not be solved by drawing the picture? First, the high cost of this work, as well as the high cost of its restoration, and secondly, some really do not like the idea that their machine can become familiar or "light up".

How it all started and what results - this has told us the master airbrush tuning studio Drive Customs Garage Alexander Dibrivny: - How did you become engaged in airbrushing? - From childhood I loved to draw, it has become my profession. He graduated from the course of malaria System DuPont, where he learned to properly paint cars and motorcycles. Next I was painting cars, but the pictures I am still interested. In service, where I worked, a colleague involved in airbrushing, and once I decided to try myself in this matter - he took his tools and tried to portray something. Naturally, I did not work out, no outline and lines - a weakling. Not one man in the street can not so just go and start painting airbrush! I started learning from his fellow technique of drawing an air brush and gradually penetrating into an art. - The process of drawing on detail - very difficult work. - Sure, it's very hard work. Each color must draw in detail separately, and the duration of the work depends on the complexity of the picture. Work with stencils require special care. It would seem, why order the airbrushing on the car - a very expensive? This is a very time-consuming process - select a picture, prepare a piece, and even the entire machine completely, frost, put the image - where each color is drawn separately to make several layers. The "realistic", volume drawing - the more work. - The item is put so much paint and it still remains smooth - Every color is usually mixed with a solvent, the percentage is approximately 10% paint and 90% solvent, and after patterning detail again with lacquer. Figure can not feel your hands, since there is practically no pigment ink. When people look at the picture that gives the impression of volume, many think that there is a lot of paint, but the airbrushing is the same principle as in the pictures on the wall, canvas, canvas - important to choose the right type of image and do everything right. - What style are you drawing? - Since I mostly do airbrushing on motorcycles, I prefer fantasy style, abstraction. Bikers are known to love all sorts of skeletons, "meat" - here in this "evil" style and I do my work. - What can you tell us about their work? - I note one of his works - I was "dressed» Opel Tigra in the skin of a tiger. Inflicted on the entire surface of the car tiger stripes came out very effectively and emphasized the nature of the model of this machine. Motorcycles with an airbrush, which I did, put up for MOTOBIKE SALON.
