If you want to know where you are — and what to do next — start here with the free foundations.

And painting finally felt free.

I felt all of these for years.

I learned how to paint around them… but I was always working under tension.

It wasn’t until I understood how to remove them that everything changed.

The tension disappeared.

If the airbrush isn’t doing what you expect, and you’re not sure if it’s you or the tool…

Every airbrush artist has felt that.

There’s a way through it, and it starts at Level 0.


If you’re tense when you paint because you’ve thrown out too many pieces after making mistakes…

This is Level 1.



If you hesitate on the next airbrush move…

Or you can see something is off, but you don’t know what it is or how to fix it…

This is Level 2.



Each stage removes a different kind of resistance.

As you move through them, your airbrushing starts to feel calmer… more controlled… and eventually, free.

Where are you on the Mountain?

There’s a path through this.

What you’re feeling shows up at specific stages as you learn.

Each one has its own way through it.

It’s not random.

There are stages every airbrush artist goes through.

This is just one of them.

Each one adds resistance and tension to your airbrushing until you understand the way through it.

This is the Freedom to Freehand Airbrush Mountain.

You’re working on an artwork and it’s starting to come together. It needs something… you pause.

Not quite sure what it needs, you add a bit of black. Still unsure… you pause again. Maybe a little more… but now you’re worried it might push it too far.

So you stop. That’ll do.


Have you felt that?


If you felt that while you read it, you’re not alone.
