EXERCISE ONE/FREE HAND CONTROLLED EFFECT
The exercise shown in fig. 1 is accomplished by practicing the triggering technique explained on page 3.
Pull back slightly on the trigger, while air is on, to create a fine line. Approximately half way through your
stroke motion push trigger forward to discontinue paint flow. While continuing your stroke motion slightly
pull trigger back again to re-create your fine line pattern. This exercise will enable you to draw straight
lines without forming dots or puddles at the beginning and end of each line. Fig. 2 is parallel line graduat-
ing from narrow to broad. These are made by releasing more color and at the same time, lifting the air-
brush away from the surface. Practice daily to develop trigger action control. Fig. 3, layout in pencil

inch squares. Airbrush the dots as small as possible and connect dots with straight lines of even tone.
Practice every lesson carefully before proceeding to the next one.

EXERCISE TWO
On a board or paper, lightly pencil in a number of
1
/
2
inch squares. Hold the airbrush about
1
/
2
inch from the
surface and spray small dots on the intersecting lines, as shown in fig. 4. When you are able to place the dots
accurately, begin enlarging the size of the dots (fig.
5) by allowing more color to flow through the air-
brush. At the same time increase the distance
between the airbrush and the paper or board. If the
airbrush is held too closely to the paper with the trig-
ger pulled all the way back and down, “puddles” will
form and spread. Aim for accuracy not speed and
continue practicing until you can spray any size dot
exactly where you want it. This simple lesson will
give you control of position and density of dots or
shapes you require, which are important for touch-ups and fill-in work.
