Painting a Backdrop Using an Airbrush: Part 1

Excellent primer for beginners: http://tinyurl.com/modelrailroad
My Web Site: http://modelrr.oakviewresources.com/ This is a 5 part series where I paint a test backdrop using an airbrush. It was a great learning experience for me. I definitely learned what NOT to do when I finally do paint my backdrop on my model railroad.

Oh yeah, a "light" comment; You´re not supposed to be painting WHITE, you´re supposed to be using the natural whiteness of the paper / cardboard and work around that ("mentally-planning"), from the lightest of colors towards the darkest. Airbrushing on paper is somewhat tricky in that area...
