Creating a splattered paint effect with an airbrush is easy.
Airbrushing is a method of applying paint that uses compressed air to atomize the paint before spraying it onto a canvas. By its nature, airbrush paining produces soft lines and edges. This can be a problem if you intentionally want to splatter paint onto a canvas. You can still accomplish this effect with an airbrush, however, by simply making use of a wooden craft stick.
Instructions
1. Connect your airbrush to the compressor with an air hose.
2. Fill the airbrush's paint reservoir with the color of your choice.
3. Spray whatever background details you desire before adding the splatter.
4. Hold the end of a craft stick in front of the airbrush tip at a 45-degree angle.
5. Spray onto and past the craft stick. The paint will collect onto the stick, then blow onto the canvas in a random splatter pattern once enough has accumulated.
6. Move the airbrush and stick farther from the canvas to create smaller paint blobs. Move the airbrush and stick closer to make the splattering appear more pronounced.
7. Increase the air pressure if you are not getting enough paint splattered onto the canvas.
8. Continue to build up the splattered area until you are satisfied with the results.
