Stuff

So having decided to experiment with fluid acrylics, I find that having shaky hands is not a drawback with this technique, I mentioned to Spouse that an airbrush compressor would be useful after all. (He had asked me long ago if I wanted to try airbrushing, but I would have had to spend all my time in a mask and I said no.)
I don't need the airbrush itself, I just want a source of cold air, controllable, to move paint around.
So, this morning, while I was watching the Ashes and updating the laptop which he recently repaired, he disappears to the garage and just before lunch he comes in with a compressor he built. I'm going to try it out now. Wish me luck.

Play resumes

Well that was fun, but the compressor isn't really up to sustained effort. Not without utility, but I could do with a proper one. Hee hee.
Spouse has a built-in compressor in the garage for all his Important Engineering Stuff and as I gave him the news he was eyeing up the ceiling and talking about running a line up through to my study/studio. I should think his monster would blow the paint right off the canvas and out of the window. I put in a plea for a nice neat table-top compressor. Keep the fingers crossed.
