We start looking at the human body as an art form and by combining airbrush with body painting techniques your ideas will come to life. Students will be instructed in a versatile array of airbrush applications including body painting, realistic clothing creation, advanced freehand techniques, stenciling and creating various prints, face painting and floral designs. You will then hone your skills through various airbrush, body painting and sketching exercises, taught and demonstrated by your instructor through live interactive presentations.
