Airbrush Basics: Reducing Your Paint (Part 2)

Demystifying paint reduction for general airbrushing - In this video I demonstrate airbrushing with different paint reduction ratios at a fixed air pressure using an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS and an Iwata Micron CM-C Plus. In the end, I give my recommendation for the best all-around paint reduction ratio and air pressure setting based on those comparisons, as well as my own experience.
