About the Airbrush Courses
Daniel Power has been helping people learn how to airbrush in some capacity for over 15 years. The Power Studios airbrushing classes have been teaching airbrush techniques to people all over the world for around 10 years, with airbrush courses that are !
With 3 different levels of airbrush instruction as well as specialised Creative Airbrush courses (Skulls & Beasties) and Auto Airbrush classes (Intro to Auto and True Fire), Power studios can take you from absolute beginner through to the most specialised techniques with fun and ease.
We have had students fly into Melbourne from all corners of Australia for Daniel's classes. Some flying in for airbrush courses several times from all over Queensland, Western Australia, Sydney N.S.W and Adelaide S.A for multiple levels and classes. We have also had numerous international students travelling from as far as Signapore, Spain, New Zealand and Ireland.
All Melbourne airbrush classes are run from a professional airbrush studio with instruction directly from Daniel Power. All courses have been designed by Daniel specifically to give you the control and expertise that he has gained from almost 20 years of full time airbrush experience.
Daniel Power is also teaching internationally having now run SOLD OUT airbrush classes in Denmark (2010, 2011), Germany (2010, 2011), Holland (2011),

The Level 1, 4 day airbrush courses are an airbrushing workshop designed by world renowned airbrush artist Daniel Power.
Daniel has specifically designed each 4 day airbrush course to teach and develop the skills most required, and for that matter, requested in airbrushing.
The 4 day airbrush classes are 4 days in a row. This is done because when learning a fine skill like airbrushing, you need consecutive time to build momentum and muscle memory. Also, almost all our 4 day classes run fom a Thurday through to a Sunday. This is to minimize the amount of time people may need to take off work.

Does Power Studios teach Night Courses?
We do not teach night classes for airbrush art for numerous reasons. Taking a 4 day course and spreading it over 12-16 weeks for 2-3 hours a night loses you valuable time for pack up and set up every single week as opposed to just once at the start and once at the end. Combine this with travel time every week, plus trying to learn a new skill at the end of a days work when the mind is tired, as well as requiring the same night available for so many consecutive weeks is not a successful way to teach or learn airbrushing. Here at Power studios, we would not feel comfortable charging for such an unproductive, stunted way of learning.
After almost a decade of teaching we have made it easy for you.
4 Days, one time to arrange, minimal trips, maximum retention, maximum results and a full set of notes; Easy!
