Top drawer stuff that. I find it really hard to think any bigger than 20×30" he must have to go and stand well back from the mural a million times to get things right as a ‘whole’ painting.

Airbrushing season started here in Poland for good. In my preparations fro painting an exterior wall of a cafe (approx 60 square meters) came upon a few questions which I hope one of you, dear airbrushers will be able to help me deal with. 1. What is the best kind of paint to use as a base coat, weather conditions here change from snowy in the winter to extremely hot in the summer, the surface is a regular concrete. 2 Is it wise to use transparent paints or should rather opaque, as the more lasting ones, be used. 3 Are there any procedures to preserve the mural from bleaching or cracking.

Hi Lukasz, That’s a pretty big area to paint, In June’s 2003 Airbrush Art+Action magazineWilliam Lazos did a tutorial on ‘big area outdoor painting’ and it was in Canada where it too gets very hot-then-cold apparently…In the tutorial he says he uses special ‘outdoor latex paints’ which he describes as being rather viscous…. He seems to paint on billboard space which are covered over each time a company buys the space.. so longetivity of the artwork is not really an issue for him like it would be for u…. I guess a good white masonary primer paint and a good masonary clear sealant would be your best bet ….but I don’t kow for sure. Good luck with it anyway. Wenz the ‘vague’ one.
