Practice the 5 hand movement techniques. Do 100 stokes a day on a large art easel paper board. it teaches line width and distance for muscle memory. use over reduced watered down latex paint to practice.

I was going to post the link for airbrush-tech.com but the site has been taken down. They had good tutorials and technical data for airbrush, paint & bodywork.

If you find some good links post 'em up for our perusal.

SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

this is a stencil package with mountains, probably not what you have in mind. Can you just make some? Seems mountain shapes wold be pretty generic.

SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.
