Airbrushing is a more precise mode of painting without a brush than spray-painting. There are many types of airbrushes, all of which push paint through a needle-thin nozzle so the liquid mists over your painting surface. One special kind is a dual-action gravity-feed airbrush, which features a trigger mechanism that allows you to control both airflow and paint volume. When you press the trigger, air passes through, and when you pull the trigger back, paint flows through the needle. The amount of pressure you apply when pushing down or back controls the volume. “Gravity feed” simply means that the paint reservoir is located at the top of the airbrush. Gravity pulls paint down from this reservoir into the mixing chamber, where the paint is atomized to a mist. Airbrushes are great for photo retouching, auto graphics, temporary tattoos, cake decorating, fine art, illustrations, and nail art. (But please, please use a different gun for decorating cakes with food coloring if you also use your airbrush for painting!)
