Why This Book Matters
The airbrush was invented in 1893 by watercolourist Charles Burdick as a tool for laying colour washes. This book helps readers see the airbrush as a versatile painter’s tool, not just a device for glossy commercial illustration.
It also connects airbrushing to photo-retouching, decorative crafts, and graphic art, giving a broader view of its creative potential.
