Blair School of Art Reviews

I enjoyed the workshop immensely and was really impressed by the quality of work I was able to produce with this paper. For the last two years I have been moving away from airbrushing towards oil painting for my fine art. This class gave me an opportunity to work on a surface and use a lot of the techniques I had developed with automotive airbrushing and oil painting. The surface of the paper was really receptive to the paint and I enjoyed the way the paint laid down on the paper. Dru Blairs uni...

After finally having the time in my life to pursue artistic endeavours, attending the Blair School of Realism proved to be the best possible experience in terms of learning and the overall value! The course was chock full of learning from the GOAT of airbrushing, Dru Blair, and the facilities were excellent, as well. The accommodations were nice and the food was delicious...Southern hospitality meets airbrush boot camp! It was more than I expected and I would recommend it to anyone able to ta...

Fist off I just want to say that I did some research on this spring by asking several folks that actually have experience with it and basically was told that it is indeed very soft compared to the factory spring in my Custom Micron CM-B and in any Iwata for that matter. I wanted to give the spring a fair go and review so I have used it for just over one week now and these are my findings. Like I mentioned above the spring is super soft and just putting my finger on the trigger was enough to comp...

Dru's classroom in the box has literally made my wildest airbrush dreams come true. After discovery H.G. Giger 30 years ago I bought an airbrush and have struggled ever since. Then I discovered your website. I was hesitant to spend the money then I saw what came. I felt guilty for only paying $250. The videos alone are worth the money. Dru is an amazing teacher. This is not a paint by the numbers course it could be, but you also learn the concepts and skills that Giger himself used to make thi...

As per usual, I left with a whole boatload of new techniques and a broader understanding of how to use my airbrush - that unfortunately usually stays in a cupboard until I get to take one of these workshops. I took the class for the monochromatic aspect (and to get out of the house) as people and the human form are not a subject matter that I'm passionate about, but I found the various methods we used in class are easily transferable to future works I may do (if I can find the discipline to take...

I have the full fire horse including paint. The aluminum panel was damaged in shipping. Samantha sent out a new one asap. This is a great project to work on your freehand technique as well as brush control. The video quality and content as always is excellent. The only difference between the video and in person classes is you miss the interaction with other students and the instructors. The paint supplied is enough to do the project multiple times and I can attest to this because I am on my s...

Had a phenomenal experience attending the Monochromatic Workshop under the tutelage of Dru Blair. Learned & refined techniques to assist in my growth as an artist; whether in future workshops or pursuing my own style of artwork. I met so many wonderfully talented artists whom I will remain connected to, as we all grow under Dru’s guidance. I truly cannot wait to enroll in more courses or workshops, but mostly to create my own rendition of life’s beauty with my airbrush. Thank you for the opp...

I have only been Airbrushing for about 8 months and I have so much to learn. After seeing The outstanding and mesmerising work of Mr Dru Blair, I had a look at his website. So many courses and classrooms in a box to choose from, but as I cannot travel and find myself housebound due to medical reasons, I chose the STARGAZER classroom in a box kit and waited excitedly for it to arrive here in the UK. The quality of the kit is just outstanding, the stencils are wonderfully designed and cut with ext...

Dru made this class so easy to understand, I thought it would be intimidating but his style of teaching ease's those thoughts. I am coming from a background with using airbrushes for minatures and bigger sprayers for car painting (stock painting). I was shocked with the results because I started to doubt myself but I stuck with the course and when I was done with the project I was totally shocked. This course is totally worth it coupled Dru's calm teaching and coaching style, I ordered more cour...
