Airbrush "dust" is a technique invented by medical illustrators to replicate the carbon dust technique (see Carbon-Dust Technique) when the materials for carbon dust were scarce. The airbrush "dust" technique utilizes lamp black watercolor pigment, blown through an airbrush, combined with plastic film pencils and erasers to make richly toned illustrations for display or reproduction. Students will learn how to make re-usable friskets out of acetate to transform their sketch into a finished illustration. Only a basic knowledge of airbrush is necessary; most of the rendering is done in pencil.
