ASET Ultimate Air Affair 2007 - Part 2
ASET Ultimate Air Affair 2007 - Part 2, brings us to Day 2, which began at 8:00 am with Steve Driscoll teaching his method of fantasy portraiture. After transferring the design to the metal panel, the students were off and painting. Steve’s expert instruction made what seemed to be a complex operation into an easy to accomplish painting that guaranteed professional results.
Fonzy followed Driscoll’s class with a lesson on monochromatic painting. His beautiful fantasy portrait is a study in color value that emphasized how to get the most effect spraying with just one color.
After another super lunch provided by ASET, Deborah Mahan showed the group how she paints pin-up art using freehand airbrushing methods. Since this session was a demonstration only, the students had only to watch and absorb the wisdom that Deb was imparting.
A bio-mechanical art class was next up with instructor Bob Soroka. The purpose of the class was to explain how to combine freehand painting and hand-held shields, which is something Bob is very proficient at doing. The attentive class gleaned quite a bit from this class.
Florida’s “Bones” was the next instructor and he pulled all of his “Old School” designs and painting styles out of his bag of tricks for the pleasure of all in attendance.
Mike Lavallee’s tru-fire class was a must see for all of the students. His world famous method of rendering flames with his signature Artool shields is always a big hit with everyone in attendance.
