Every day airbrush artists develop new groundbreaking airbrushing techniques as they refine and experiment with their medium and pass along their knowledge in airbrush classes. Ultimately, even those who have a formal art education need to stay abreast of evolving techniques in the airbrushing field, as experts forge new paths in the photorealism, automotive and clothing realms. While novices can self-teach with instructional airbrush DVDs, videos, or books, nothing quite compares to hands-on training with one of airbrushing's master teachers in airbrush classes.

Because of this, some of the biggest and most established names conduct airbrush classes, seminars, and instructional getaways to pass along the latest techniques in the airbrushing field. Novice airbrush classes run the gamut from introductory classes geared at equipment, maintenance, airbrush media, and preparatory and safety issues. Photorealism airbrush classes tend to focus on elemental and raw material depictions as well as color theory. Niche airbrush classes narrow the spotlight onto the targeted medium itself, such as steel, cotton, or leather.

Airbrush masters such as Deborah Mahan and Dru Blair instruct airbrush classes, translating years of airbrushing experience to students in an accelerated format. By distilling principles of color nuance and fine detail into compact, intensive courses, international airbrushing authorities like Cross-Eyed, Javier Soto, Jonathan Pantaleon and Alan Pastrana offer hands-on experience to artists of all skill levels. Some airbrush classes extend their focus to the business side of airbrushing, covering principles of price points, client consultation, tax deductions, promotions and more.
