hello from a newbie

[rsstoned]

hi all..ive been looking at this site and many others for a few weeks now and thought i should say hello.. im a complete novice..cant draw to save my life and know nothing about art lol..but have heard that airbrushing can be an enjoyable hobbie and learned..im 38 and live in suffolk uk.. i was given a badger 200 hn by a neighbour found in her garage when she moved in and didnt want..(any advice on this brush ect welcomed) not knowing anything about paints ect i went to my local art shop and got some water colour tubes (nice and cheap)..watered it down (no clue on how to mix it.. quanities ect) any advice please lol and made a nice mess on some paper with my ab lol..what i did find out was it was fun..even managed to get some reasonable dots daggers and lines well reasonable for a blind person anyway lol.. well after that play im hooked..spent loads of time looking at threads and sites and done loads or reading ..still playing with water colour though coz cheap to pratice with as on low income and have even made a few stencils with pc and stencil burner out of ohp film.. well after reading loads on this forum ive talked my wife into getting me a iwata hp ch. as this seemed to be a good all round brush.. cant wait for it to come (big smile)..well hopefully one day ill be good enough to spray my own bike (suziki bandit 1200) love it ..

keep up the good work guys really like the site loads of good advice... roger:clapping2:
