Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) August 16, 2010
Interest in learning how to airbrush has reached a fever pitch, thanks to TV hits like Overhaulin’, Pimp My Ride, Sunset Tan, American Chopper, Trick My Truck, LA Ink, and others. And there may be no better way to learn than at the Airbrush Getaway’s Achieving Photorealism four-day workshop to be held this year at the Rio Hotel & Casino, Monday, September 29th, through Saturday, October 2nd.
According to Airbrush Action magazine (the event sponsor) editor Cliff Stieglitz, the internationally esteemed program—offered twice yearly in Vegas—is ideal for artists and non-artists who seek to learn new skills or take their art to professional levels. “Students come away learning how to make thousands of extra dollars airbrushing.”
Dru Blair’s groundbreaking and highly intensive course reveals the secrets of painting photorealistic fire, ice, metal, water, glass, fur, flesh tones, and many other subjects that often challenge artists. Students will learn to quickly match colors with extreme accuracy and precision through Mr. Blair’s Color Buffer Theory.
Achieving Photorealism is open to artists (and non-artists) of all skill levels (including beginners). The color theory taught in this class is in no way limited to just airbrushing; it crosses over to every aspect of life where choosing and/or manipulating color is important.
You’ll also learn transparent versus opaque techniques, understanding white and the impact it has on your images, Mr. Blair’s 8 rules of photorealism, the 12-point photorealism checklist, how to really understand light, how to survive catastrophic painting errors, how to develop observation techniques that allow you to expand your visual discrimination, and tons more!
Other courses include Automotive Graphics, Automotive Murals on Steel, Pin-Up Art, Power Portraits, Airbrush Mastery, Pinstriping, and T-Shirt Airbrushing for Fun & Profit. The workshops are conducted by some of the world’s top talent, including Craig Fraser, Javier Soto, Jonathan Pantaleon, Terry Hill, Ryno (of TV’s Trick My Truck), Jerry Ott, Lorenzo Sperlonga, and other well-known artists.
Sponsored by Iwata Airbrush Company, Createx, Auto-Air, Anest Iwata, SEM, and Coast Airbrush, the Airbrush Getaway Workshops launch careers by teaching how to profit handsomely in art despite self-perceived artistic limitations. A comment echoed by many Getaway alumni is that more is learned in four days at an Airbrush Getaway than in four years in college. Joe Stanford, of Grass Lake, Michigan, thought he had finally reached airbrush nirvana. “One day you see a celebrity artist in Airbrush Action magazine, and the next day he’s looking over your shoulder helping you. That’s priceless. A lot of people might be leery of attending a Getaway because they don’t know anyone, but it’s like you’re a part of this huge family as soon as you walk in. There are no cliques or egos. I loved the Murals class. Where else can you find all this amazing talent under one roof?”
