Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

What paint to use

HiAll

Hope that there is a paint master or someone esel that can help me out. I am currently learning to use the airbrush and i am having problems with paint.

I am using acrylics, namely decorfin which is made by Talens. Now i use these as this is what i was using with brushes and i dilutd them with water. I have taken the advice to use a mix of alcohol and water and not just water but i am not afraid that i still will not get it correct.

On the other hand i wish to have some airbrush ready paints liek you guys use for several reasons:
1. See first hand the consistency of the paint
2. Ready mixed = ready to spray
3. Confirm that the probelms i am having is due to paint and not airbrush

Therefore since i will have to search for such paints abroad as here we do not have such things please let me know what brand i should look for in order to at least get some primary colours or the ones that i use most such as:

flesh tones (what would i need and from which brand)
Blood
basic colours for stones, rocks and skulls (this i can make out myself if i have a colour chart of teh compnay)

All your help is greatly appreciated
Alexei
