hey i got airbrush tools for christmas and i got the basic stuff but how do u get the paint to come out?

ok... first of all put some water in one of the little jars and attach it to the airbrush.

your airbrush is probably a "double action" type which means when you press down on the little button you get air only.

now... as you pull back on the button, keeping it held down, you should get a spray of water.

if you don't your nozzle thingie on the front of the brush may be screwed out to far...tighten it and try again.

if you take the handle of the back of the brush (the pen shaped part, you will see a needle looking thingie sticking out. ensure that it is moving back and forth when you pull back on the button.

is it working yet? if not you may not have enough air pressure. check to see if there is an adjustment for that.

i'm assuming that, because the airbrush is new and never used, that it is not plugged. you should have a little manual that tells you how to clean the brush..

good luck... i ustabe a photo retoucher and occassionaly the brushes can drive you crazy
