ABU - Airbrush Instruction, Fun and Camaraderie on a College Campus!!


Airbrush University is a new kind of Airbrush Teaching Forum. ABU is a unique airbrush classroom, teaching the subjects you are interested in with the instructors you want to learn from. ABU will be held on the campus of Stonehill College in beautiful Easton, Massachusetts, just a short ride from Boston’s Logan International Airport. Once you arrive on campus your tuition pays for everything…..Room (double occupancy), three meals a day, airbrushes, paints, medium.

The classes will be followed up by the 7th Annual BearAir Airbrush Party. The classroom will remain open so that the students will have an open forum to display their artwork.

Time: 9 - 6 PM (at least) daily
Location: Stone Hill College
South Easton, MA

YOUR INSTRUCTORS for 2009

MIKE LEARN:
Take years off your LEARN-ing curve with Mike Learn's hard-hitting curriculum that will put you on the cutting edge of airbrushing and technology. Mike's exclusive techniques and teaching style will excite and motivate you as you watch yourself improve by the hour. While classes are geared towards people with at least some working knowledge of airbrushing techniques, all skill levels are welcomed. As always, the curriculum will cover freehand, shielding and advanced masking techniques, composition, content, lighting, use of transparent and opaque color, using the computer as a tool, and much much more. Mike has ramped up his instruction to also incorporate many elements of "Creating From Within." Through group discussion and demos of the principles of good design, how to choose and use a reference, core shadow, light and reflection, Mike will give you tools to help you put your imagination to canvas.

Come prepared to be challenged and ready to think different!!

No Keith Hanson this year? BUMMER!

For anyone who's even remotely contemplating on going, I have 3 very simple but totally emphatic words for you...

JUST DO IT!!!

I'd been airbrushing for over 15 years when I went to ABU in 2008. My god, what a blast! The openness of the class structure allows you to wander into the other rooms during breaks or whenever & see what the other students are doing in each room. You really do have access to all of the instructors the entire time you're there. It's pretty much constant opportunity to pick the brains of some of the best artists & most down-to-earth people you'll ever be so lucky to hang out with. I can honestly say that the classes offer something for artists at ANY level of their game. I would go again in a heartbeat if I could. And the 3 meals a day really are solid meals. The food was surprisingly good! Mmmmmm, complete with desserts!

You will not regret one solitary second of it, & it's worth every precious penny.

I've heard of that show, Orange County Choppers. Isn't that the one where the airbrush artist used to make the bikes they build look awesome. Now they just look the same.

Oh no....Mr. Hanson will definitely be running his class again this year.

I am not entirely sure how he will manage that not having Marge there to get everyone organized, up and running before he gets there like last year though...... :D

We also have scheduled appearances from some of our favorite after hours characters as well. Should be another sleep deprived week!

You can take Scott McKay's class. It's great for begginers and you will be amazed at what you will learn and paint in this class. Go for it! It will be the best experience of your airbrush life :)

Why, whatever do you mean, Mr. Learn? (Looking as innocent as humanly possible.) :D

Oh, & I'm taking applications for a stunt double. Must be able to make rice krispy bars & weed thistles.
