  • Airbrushes are used for a variety of applications. Airbrushing techniques can be used wherever fine, controlled application of paints, inks and dyes is desired. Airbrushing is used for artwork, illustration, hobbies and crafts, clothing adornment, photographic touchup, and make-up application. Airbrushing allows application of great detail and subtle transitions between colors, which can be more easily done than with traditional brush techniques.
