When you start an airbrush art project, you will first need to homework the surface. The prep work that you do will be determined by what kind of surface you will be airbrushing. The preparation work to the surface will ensured that the paint sticks to the surface and that nothing is interfering with the airbrushed design.
For airbrushing t-shirts, sweatshirts, denim and other natural fibers you first need to wash the material. By washing the material you will remove any loose fibers. Also washing the material will take care of any shrinkage ahead of placing your airbrush art design on to the material. So make sure that you have washed and fully dried your material before you set about.
Leather needs to be cleaned off with rubbing alcohol earlier than doing any airbrushing. This will remove the oil that’s on the leather. The oil will prevent the paint from sticking to the surface. Make sure that all the leather has been cleaned down and that the alcohol has desiccated before beginning. When you begin you need to locate a base coat of Opaque White first before you set about your actual airbrush design.
