For those who can create realistic airbrush art, there is a lucrative future in a number of industries (especially the automotive industry). However, the wide variety of subjects and styles required for mastery requires a vast amount of knowledge; this is why there is an instructional airbrush DVD for virtually every type of image. For instance, an expert airbrusher might know how to paint a flaming-skulled clown riding a motorcycle, yet need some more practice to accurately render a simple chrome finish. Building one's artistic repertoire is a matter of learning each piece, one by one, after mastering the general techniques of airbrushing.

Naturally, one should learn how to control and use an airbrush before trying to master a particular design. Many airbrushers use instructional DVDs or books to keep their basic skills sharp as well as keep abreast of trends in the industry. DVDs such as the "Introduction to Automotive Airbrushing" are designed to give the viewer step-by-step instruction in this precise form of art.

Interestingly, instructional airbrush videocassettes were never as popular as a modern instructional airbrush DVD. This is because it's difficult to show the intricate detail of an airbrush with a low-resolution medium such as a VCR. However, since DVD players have high-resolution capabilities, showing the finer points of airbrushing is quite a simple matter. In fact, many prefer learning airbrushing via DVD, since the crisp color blends are easy to perceive.

For those who have mastered basic airbrush techniques, building a client base is simply a matter of creating a design base. The most popular motorcycle designs are skulls and flames. For cars, the flame is by far the most popular design, which is why there are so many instructional DVDs based on this design motif. Learning designs becomes quite easy when there are instructional DVDs for virtually every popular design style.
