Hello everybody,
I am an artist that just recently became interested in airbrushing but I have no idea where to start! I would like to learn more about it from people who know a lot more than I do. Like what is the best gun to start out with and what are the different techniques? Im sure there is so much about it that I dont know. Please write me back! Im anxious to learn about it!

Welcome Kat! I see you live here in AZ. What part are you in? What do you think you might want to paint, and on what surface? If you live here in the valley, go to Harbor Freight on 43rd. Ave and Bell Rd. They have a good deal on different set ups, but I have this one on sale at the store for ~$80

and then there is this one

and AZ Art Supply on Indian School Rd. has decent guns at decent prices, but you can get a bigger selection from here

I would stick with Iwatas if I were you. I am thinking about starting up some classes again since I am moving into a house. Let me know if you want or need anymore help!
