When I discovered (quite by accident) a brochure for David's classes, I was completely unfamiliar with airbrushing. I called to inquire, and on a whim, I signed up, not knowing what to expect. David's creativity, enthusiasm, and innovative teaching style had me hooked from the very first class. Prior to that, my artistic background consisted of taking some oil painting classes. I enjoyed David's basic classes so much, I went on to take the advanced classes, and then (my favorite) the Top Gun classes. David's practical approach to supplies, "tricks of the trade," and which airbrushes to use has already saved me more than the cost of the classes. More importantly, these classes have "expanded my horizons," changing my approach to all artistic endeavors, challenging me to "think outside the box." David's encouragement has inspired me to try thing I never would have had the confidence to attempt. I've gone from complete novice to winning first place in juried art competitions, and to selling my work professionally. I never expected a curious phone call about airbrush classes would lead me to a new career that's more creatively challenging and fun than anything I've ever done before. To say that I highly recommend David's classes is an understatement. For me, it's honestly been a life-changing experience. Crystal _______________________________________________________________________________________ Dave- I learned alot in your class, your style of teaching is one that anyone can listen to and retain. I have added some of my own to what you have taught me and have done good for myself...Actually sold my first piece last month, the money wasnt the good part, knowing that i did something and someone wanted it made me happy. I would recommend your class to anyone, you done a great job and would like to thank you....I will send pics soon..... Jodi F ________________________________________________________________________________________ MR. MORTON HELLO, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A GREAT BIG "THANK YOU" FOR HELPING TO BRING SOME LIFE BACK INTO A YOUNG MAN. DREW HAD SO MUCH ENTHUSIASM IN HIS VOICE YESTERDAY WHEN I SPOKE WITH HIM ON THE PHONE. HE RETURNED TO WORK AFTER AIRBRUSH CLASS AND CALLED TO LET ME KNOW HOW THINGS WENT. HE WAS JUST THRILLED WHEN HE WAS EXPLAINING THINGS TO ME. HIS BROTHER EVEN SAID THAT AIRBRUSH CLASS WAS ALL HE TALKED ABOUT IN THE AFTERNOON AT WORK. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT I STUMBLED ONTO YOU AND YOUR AWESOME TALENT. I TRULY THINK GOD HAD OUR PATHS CROSS. I HOPE THAT DREW WILL TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY AND RUN WILD WITH IT. HE SEEMS SO INTERESTED RIGHT NOW. HE REALLY NEEDS SOMETHING TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT AND I HOPE THAT THIS IS IT. THANKS AGAIN. HAVE A GREAT WEEK JULIE H. _____________________________________________________________________________ I have taken David's class and felt it provided a great foundation for anyone interested in airbrushing. The introductory class covers various techniques that have application in any art form where an airbrush is used. Each week you cover a new technique/application which builds on the things you learned from the previous weeks. To address the different learning styles that people have, David explains each topic in detail, and then walks you through the process again while he actually paints the project piece. Throughout each lesson, he emphasizes the need to constantly practice the basics: the dagger stroke, maintaining the correct distance from the surface, trigger control, etc. The advanced course continues to build upon what you learned in the introductory course while teaching you more advanced techniques how to render certain textures and/or effects in a composition. If I had to highlight the areas that had the greatest impact for me it would the classes on portraiture, rendering different skin tones, and the technique/application of shading to a composition. This in no way downplays the value of the information gained in the other lessons; these were my personal highlights. Glenn M. ( Uncle G ). :) __________________________________________________________________________________________ I have been interested in learning how to airbrush for a long time. After extensive research I found Dave’s website, and I decided to call him and get more information about his classes. I had looked at all the artwork on Dave’s website, and I talked to him about what I was looking for from an airbrush class. I am interested in all aspects of the airbrush culture, and my goal was to learn as much as I could to be able to render artwork that looks completely professional. As Dave explained his method of teaching and what subjects his classes covered, my interest in airbrushing became even greater. The way Dave structured his classes and the way he introduced us to "the tricks of the trade" made it easy to understand and retain the information he presented. Even though Dave’s class is geared to the graphic side of airbrushing, he still talked to us about the historical background of airbrushing and the unlimited income potential available using even basic airbrushing techniques. The fact that Dave cares about this art is demonstrated in the way he teaches and the care he shows towards his students. While making money is important, it is evident that Dave is not teaching classes just for that purpose. Dennis H _________________________________________________________________________ David, again... in a word... Thank you. Again, I found your class very beneficial. I may not be able to jump right in but it will be a part of my future. In other words I don't want to be an Administrative Assistant all my life. But once again, my 401(k) is very important.....especially after also opening our own business. I can see my painting will be an extension of our business....starting with the duracoat on the guns. But I definitely want to paint on furniture, walls, maybe mailboxes, and just on paper and canvas. I have a million ideas floating around in my head. I will send you some pictures when we get all set up and running in the Duracoat end of it. Thanks again and keep me on your list. Mary Ann _________________________________________________________________ David Morton is a very good Teacher. He has such a passion for teaching airbrushing. His methods and techniques used are just terrific. I have not had any type of art lessons prior to taking Dave's Beginner class. Now after finishing the beginner class and just starting the advanced class I feel that I've learned a tremendous amount. I and my family are still amazed at the paintings I bring home from Dave's class each week. It is so much fun to paint something that looks realistic, and using Dave's techniques make it seem so simple. I can't even draw but using the projector and what I have learned from Dave so far makes airbrush painting a real joy. Thanks Jim R. Kokomo ________________________________________________________________________ Before I decided to learn airbrushing, I went online and looked at the many artists and their owrk. I was very impressed what some people are able to do without ever touching a medium. After learning some basic techniques online, I quickly learned that I need to have hands-on with an established instructor. I reviewed several local, and out of town, artists and came across airbrushclasses.com. Upon reviewing the website several times, my wife decided to call Dave and inquiry about his classes. We wanted to see if they were right for us. Upon speaking to Dave for the first time, she immediately registered me for his class (Beginner/Advance). She was amazed at both his knowledge and ease of speaking to a novice in the field. Upon taking this class I was not disappointed. Everything that he said we would cover, we did. Although there was plenty of frustration on my part, he showed patience and tenacity that a novice required. He also showed the ability to adapt to the nonbeginners in the class. I don't believe a single person in our class left without increasing their skill and knowledge in the art of airbrushing. Thanks Dave.... Frank W _______________________________________________________________________ When I found Dave Morton's airbrush class, I had been airbrushing for 3 years. The information I received from the class on products and techniques is priceless. In each 2.5 hour class I came away with a new skill, and a finished project. But the most amazing thing to me was that the students who had never picked up an airbrush until the class started were producing the same quality of work that I was. The instruction is wonderful and I would recommend this class to beginners as well as more advanced airbrush artists. - Kelly Hammond Indiana _____________________________________________________________________________ Dave, I have long been amazed at the artwork created by airbrush artists. Whether on canvas, a wall, a car, cycle I thought " how cool I wonder if I can do it"… i wanted to try it. So, I got an airbrush and some paints and quickly learned i lacked the basic skills. Then I found your website airbrushclasses.com. Your style of teaching is easy and comfortable. You’ve brought to light many great concepts and "tricks of the trade". It’s good to know I can send you a photo of a project and get an honest critique. Thanks again Eric __________________________________________________________________________ When I started David's introductory class, I had never used an airbrush. David does a very good job of teaching students with a diverse artistic skillset. I have taken all the classes David offers, from introductory to advanced, and he always keeps the class fun and interesting. What ever you are interested in painting, from Faux to automotive graphics to portraits, Dave covers them all. His enthusiasm for airbrushing, kept me wanting to learn more. Thanks David. I really enjoyed your classes. Tom Brownsburg

Hey Dave,

I have done art work most of my life, and wanted to learn how to use an
airbrush correctly. Dave's class was the answer.
I was very impressed with the skill he has with the airbrush. He seems to
be able to do anything with it. Dave has an ability to teach with ease.
After I took the first class I decided to sign up for the advanced class.
I learned a lot. I would highly recommend Dave's class's to anyone that
wants to learn airbrush.

Thanks for the experience,

Wayne /Noblesville
