Airbrushing is a relatively new way of painting that has gained popularity in a variety of places in the last few decades. The first exposure people might have had to the art was in resort locations where t-shirts were airbrushed with scenery and names. This method of painting has experienced resurgence in popularity and the method is also used in other places. It is literally painting with air and paint. The metal paint gun is used and air blows through the tube of the bun, gathers paint, and sprays it onto the materials onto which the artist is painting. It takes practice to perfect the art of airbrush painting, but once a person has mastered it, the designs can be very elaborate and detailed.

One of the most popular uses for airbrush painting is on vehicles. The paint adheres well to the paint already on the car, so you get a strong base coat onto which you can paint. Airbrush designs can be applied to the car to make it personalized. People add names, quotes, and pictures to their cars, making them one-of-a-kind artistic masterpieces. This is a great way to take something that is not all that unique and turn it into something that is truly yours. It is an inexpensive way to customize a vehicle.

Another totally different option for airbrush painting is manicures and pedicures. Airbrush is used to apply painted designs to nails during the process. These are decorative additions to a traditional manicure. It is done after the base paint dries and can take varying amounts of time, depending on how elaborate the chosen designs are. Manicurists typically display a board of sample paintings from which clients can choose. Airbrush painting can be messy in a salon, so it is usually done out of the way of the rest of the work.

Airbrush tanning has become very popular in recent years. Instead of lying in the sun or in a tanning bed, people have their tan painted onto their bodies. The airbrush makes it possible to control the amount of paint applied to the body, so people can choose how dark they want their tan to be. Many airbrush tans use completely natural products that are safe for the skin and wash away over time.

Last but not least, airbrush painting on clothing is still popular. Kids love the look of personalized clothing and feel as if they have designed the pieces themselves. They can have clothing with pictures and words on them just be thinking up a design and telling the artist what they want. There are still stores and shops in malls across the country that personalizes items with airbrush designs. They make popular gifts for loved ones and are fun to own for your own use. Many adults remember the airbrush designs from when they were children and buy modern versions today to remind them of their youth. It is a great way to turn something bland into something unique and fun.
