Hands-On Airbrush Tan Course??

Nubia · 08-28-2007, 01:06 PM

I'm located in New Jersey and I'm going crazy trying to find a "hands-on airbrush tanning course" does anyone know of any classes or freelance instructors? Or can anyone recommend a really good training DVD?

I want to get into airbrush tanning. I'm an artist, I already own my own airbrush equipment, but I have seen so many *really bad* so-called professional airbrush tans that I'd like to get some training from a seasoned professional.

Most anyone can point an airbrush at someone and spray solution...heck, anyone can buy a can from a store and spray themselves. But I want to offer something special that will set me apart. I want to learn more about things like choosing the best solution for different skin types, evenly hiding tan lines and skin imperfections, how to spray really hairy people so it comes out even, muscle contouring for body-builders, body art, etc...

There's a ton of printed material out there, also lots of air-brush "make-up" classes but before I start an airbrush tanning business I'd like the training and marketing support of saying I'm "certified" or "trained under so & so..."

Any guidence?

Thanks in advance,
Patty

you can get certified online, but I really recommend just practicing on close friends and family. its the only way to truely get good. My HVLP system (similar to airbrush) came with an instructional video and manual, contact the company you purchased the airbrush from and see if they have a manual for u to look over. good luck

ps. where in jersey
