Ultimate Air Affair - Part 3
ASET’s Ultimate Air Affair Day 3 began with a bang! Steve Vandemon taught the class how to do “Ultimate Shreds” in his unique style. Steve covered the does and don’ts of ripped metal effects. As with all of the classes, some of the instructors make themselves available to assist the students during the classes. Craig Fraser, Bones and Pamela Shanteau were on hand to aid Vandemon’s class stay on point and move along smoothly.
Free-hand 3-D effects were the subject of Jason Dolls workshop. His “Bone-Kabob” exercise was designed to illustrate how he paints his multi dimensional renderings.
After the lunch break, Master pin-striper Paul Quinn demonstrated his expertise with the dagger brush along with advice on paint, brush selection and design layout. His easy way of communicating with the students made for a very productive lesson that everyone benefited from greatly.
Gerald Mendez went out of this world for his class. His outer space lesson plan incorporated many airbrush special effects and hand held found objects that could be sprayed through to render other-worldly images.
For the Ultimate ending to the three day workshop, Craig Fraser lead the class through one of his classic stretched skull paintings, by combining freehand painting with the skull master hand held stencils.
A 2008 Chrysler mini-van was delivered to the ASET facility on day 3 for airbrushing by all of the instructing artists. The van will be displayed at the SEMA Trade show in Las Vegas in Oct.-Nov. A film strip layout was applied by the crews of Dean Loucks and ASET. Each cell of the film strip was to be airbrushed with a classic movie scene. All of the artists choice their subject matter. The subjects ranged from “Gone with the Wind” to “Godzilla”.
After three days of intensive classes, the students were just as geeked as when they started. Many of the attendees made great strides towards improving their skills and surprised the staff with the huge leaps some made with their skills with the airbrush. Many wanted to sign up for the next Ultimate Air Affair before they left the show. All in all it was a very successful event and everyone left with a smile and a greater level of confidence.
