This course is only available to “Certificate II” students
Teaching you to do amazing things with an airbrush:
The Certificate II in Airbrushing teaches you the five groups of knowledge needed to airbrush absolutely anything. The problem is that students come out of the Certificate II in Airbrushing and do not understanding how to apply them to wildlife, marine life, bird life, automotive illustration, landscapes, and more. Its not possible in the time available in the course Cert II course. So we developed an advanced method course.
The Advanced Method Course teaches you to use the 5 sections of the Venturi Method in very complex and different ways, giving you first hand experience of how to create artworks of literally anything; fur and hide wildlife, marine life, exoskeleton life, amphibious life, bird life, automotive illustration, landscapes, and advanced portraiture.
You will create artworks far beyond anything that you could ever expect to. This course will completely change your expectations of what you can do with an airbrush.
Individual Cafe Exhibition
Students complete 10 large scale feature artworks and are required to exhibit the artworks they complete in the course at a cafe local to themselves for a month or more, and even rotate them through several cafes if they wish.
The purpose of the exhibition is create a purpose beyond simply painting artworks, to try and sell the artworks (or take orders) and recover the cost of the course . . . and to create an exciting and memorable outcome for the students.
Airbrush Venturi will assist you in organisaing the cafe with you, but we do not get involved financially. What you sell is yours.
