Default Re: For the new folks

Hey all, this is my first post. Firstly, i gotta say this is one of the most helpful forums i have ever joined. I am a professional musician from australia, making a good living out of it. Enough that my wife is a lady of leisure, lol. She has her hobbies though, orchids and butterflies. Music was once a hobby for me, but now i need a new one. I bought a paasche vl kit, a few tubes of el cheapo acrylic tube paint, and got some advice from the guy i bought the kit off. he said to water down the paint to the consistency of milk, which i've done. after painting a skull( complete with splatters, smears, streaks and blobs) i went online to see what was out there(apart from what i saw on u-tube). I came accross this site, and joined up, and have already found a half dozen solutions to what i am doing wrong. from the online lessons, to advice from everyone here, i can't wait to get into learning how to AB. unfortunately my wife is asleep in the next room, and i borrowed an enormous compressor from a friend(it scares the hell out of me everytime it kicks in, lol- one of the problems creating squigly lines that should be straight). As soon as i get the hang of it(and mt wife is playing outside with her orchids) i will be spending a lot of time here i think
cheers everyone!
