So you've got an airbrush, and it works beautifully, until one day.... it doesn't. You try every trick you know to fix it. You consult with groups on social media, and you've even tried watching a few Youtube videos, but nothing works. Well, this video is for you.
Here is the go-to video when things go wrong with your airbrush. Based on 40+ years of airbrush experience, Dru takes you through his proven methods to keep your airbrush spraying as it was designed to do.
These are the same solutions that Dru has used to keep his 37-year-old airbrush running perfectly, Only we've condensed it into a 30 minute long explainer video to make it easy to access content that you can start using immediately.
Our video content is recorded using HD video and narrated by Dru Blair himself, as he walks you through each concept. It's the next best thing to being there!
Besides guided instruction, we've included computer animations to clearly explain everything you need to know about the airbrush, and more importantly, how to solve any problems that might arise.
This video includes training drills that you can follow at your own pace. You will see the exercises as a first-person viewer. The camera is positioned in front of the instructor, not over the shoulder, so you will see the project develop as Dru's eyes would see it.

Because, to put it bluntly, much of the "free" information online is misleading or downright wrong. There is a huge amount of misinformation in free online airbrushing courses, which often advocate incorrect methods. Truly, you get what you pay for. This is Dru's very own approach to troubleshooting, with solutions that go straight at the problem and resolve issues quickly.
