Pronking is on a distinguished road
Default need advice from smart folks---

hello all
I am new to this stuff and i am trying to try everything out to see how things turn out.
I recently recieved an airbrush from a friend and i am dying to try it out. I am wondering though, do i need to thicken up the dye?? seems to me that if i just spray it on it will run before i get a decent coat. what is your input on this anyone??
any help is greatly appreciated
thanks
Matt

No you don't have to thicken the dye. You have to adjust the airbrush air and fluid flow to suit the media. Takes a bit of practice. You can get some cheap water colors to practice with and the clean up isn't bad. SS
