Airbrush = air + brush (paintbrush), that is, it is a tool to paint by spraying paint with air.
It’s easier to understand if you imagine “the smaller color spray”.
What airbrushes are good at is
- Gradation
- Overpaiting without disturbing the previous color
- Blur
- Painting evenly
Taking advantage of these characteristics, it is widely used in automobile custom paint, model painting, nail art, body art, painting, etc.
