I have recently got a DeVilbliss DAGR airbrush, not compressor yet but I am going to get one with a PSI of ideally 120 as at some point later on and when I start doing big project on things like car bonnets and practise items like bike tanks and helmet I will get hold of a spray gun for doing larger areas.
But I am after some paint that is available in the UK which will suite me, initally I will be doing work on big paper pads, trying stencils etc so I don't mind using water based product probably better for me right now so I don't need to buy face masks, ventilation right now so buying anything other than water base now would be a waste of money. I am looking for a brand that do sets of basic colours for basic things like learning techniques and just work on canvas (what prep do I need to do to canvases before painting?) I don't spending a bit of money on them aslong as they provide quality as no doubt even when I get into metal work I will still stick with graphic illustration kind of work as I study that at college with so I don't want poor quality paint so I don't mind splashing out the extra money for good quality paint. Just a little confused regarding paints as I have seen basic opaque, transparent sets, surely a basic set primary set would be a straight up block effect rather than anything special?
Any help, advice much appreciated, thanks.
