New Form Of Art With The Use Of Airbrush

By Lila Bryant


Art and beauty are two very peculiar concepts. There is not one single standard or basis in the appreciation of both things. The things that one may find beautiful and artistic may not hold true nor the same for the other. In the same wavelength, because different people appreciate different kinds of artistic beauty, the world of visual art has expanded itself to accommodate all these varying tastes.

These people who work with paints are called painters. They play with colors to create majestic works of art. Most of them do it just to while away the time, and some do it for a living. There are many types of painters, too. Painting encompasses a wide reach, so their works are grouped conforming to the medium that was being used.

There are various mediums in painting. Perhaps the most heard about is the oil based method. This makes use of linseed oil boiled with resin such as pine and even frankincense. They were noted for their superb body and gloss effect.

Pastels are noted for their appearance that is usually paler than that of other color palettes. It is in the form of a stick, which is actually still the same natural pigments mixed with a low saturated binder. It is usually preserved under protective glass or sprayed with a fixative because the paintings are usually fragile and easily smudged.

Watercolor, as its name suggests, is painting using pigments suspended in a water soluble vehicle. It is traditionally used by the artists of China, Korea, and Japan, who usually used it in monochromatic black and brown. For a watercolor painting, an artist most often uses paper, others papyrus, also vellum or leather.

Acrylic mediums are often used when the artwork has to be completed in limited time. This is because these types of paints dry up faster than all the others. When used in a canvas, the acrylic is first diluted in water. This results in a glossy and water resistant quality. Experts on the acrylic medium can even produce an effect that is almost similar to a costly oil painting.

The modern generation saw the rise of street art, such as the graffiti and the three dimensional type which succeeds in fooling the human vision with optical illusions. This was then seen as vandalism, and graffiti artists were usually caught by the police. But now, more and more people are opening up to the idea of street art and some paint manufacturers even make special spray paints for the very same reason.

With the advent of graffiti, people came to realize that you do not really need a canvas to make art all the time. Any kind of surface will do, which is why car fanatics have thought of automobile art. This is the expression of self conveyed through a vehicle. Though there are auto paint shops that are able to do these things, more and more people are more interested in DIY paint jobs.

The first thing you will need to do is to clean the surface of the car. Mask the areas that you do not want to paint with the use of old newspapers. Afterward, sand the surface with the use of sandpaper then wipe it with clean rags and some thinners. When they area is completely dry, you are now ready to spray it with the color that you wish. In no time, you will achieve that brand new look for your car while saving loads of money by doing it yourself.
