Ever wondered how an airbrush actually works? This hands-on airbrushing workshop in South East London is made for complete beginners – no previous experience needed – and takes you from first spray to a finished piece of your own to take home. Working with professional equipment in a relaxed, supportive setting, you'll build the fundamentals of airbrushing from scratch.
Airbrushing is a wonderfully versatile medium, used across fine art, illustration, scale modelling, custom painting and design, and this workshop gives you a solid, practical foundation in the techniques that underpin all of them.
You'll learn:
- How an airbrush works
- Basic trigger control
- How to create dots, lines and smooth gradients
- Simple masking techniques
- How to build form and depth with tone
- Basic cleaning and maintenance
Putting these new skills straight into practice, you'll finish the session by creating your own airbrushed artwork, complete with shading, masking and atmospheric effects.
This workshop is a warm welcome for complete beginners, curious artists, model makers and hobbyists, or anyone keen to pick up a new creative skill – all equipment and materials are provided, so just show up ready to spray.
You're in expert hands with tutor Bruce Atherton, a professional artist with more than 35 years of airbrushing experience across commercial work, fine art and specialist creative projects, and the former owner of his own professional airbrush studio. With Bruce's guidance, the focus is firmly on practical skills, creative exploration, and helping you build real confidence with this unique medium.
