"Okay, we've got your paint and you've played around with it a little bit and you're comfortable with the airbrush, let's go over a couple of little things that you want to work with. Let's go back to your newsprint, and just start, now that you've played with it, just practice just making dots, big ones. And you know that the further you pull back the airbrush, the more paint that you're going to get out, and one thing that you want to do, unless you're trying to make it look like that, then you want to move as fast as you can. Just make small dots, big dots, you want to move further away from your surface that you're painting, or you want to get as close as possible to get that really fine line. If you're trying to get that really fine hairline like this right here, you want to be as close as you can get without touching the needle. But if you want to make just a nice, soft line out here, you want to move back. So just practice making circles, squiggly lines, whatever. Just keep playing with it, have fun, and don't let it, if you start having problems with it, it clogs up, take a moment, pull the needle out, clean it, dump your paint out, and just give it just a light cleaning. You don't have to actually take it apart and wipe everything down, but just get the clog out of the end of the tip. And sometimes you might want to just take your finger and just pull the paint because sometimes it will dry around the end of the needle."
