Airbrush Step by Step | No. 68
For celebrities, smiling is part of the job - on the red carpet, in front of the camera and at award ceremonies. In this issue which we dedicate a couple of celebrities and VIP portraits, British actress Emilia Clarke is showing us probably the most beautiful smile of all. Her portrait is painted and demonstrated by Colombian artist Edith Davila. Considering the Joker a VIP, his devious and fake, but however alluring grin on the cover might probably not show the most professional smile, but however a great piece of art by Spanish artist María Sousa González.
The pin-up painted by Spanish artist José Luis Parada Caballero doesn’t even need a smile or celebrity face. She already shines due to intense airbrush coloring as well as the creative combination with sparkling rhinestones.
The "Avengers" have been being „celebrities“ already for decades. Czech artist Martin Cerny chose them for a helmet design that highlights Captain America as the main character. Also popular since the 70s is the US band Blondie with its leading singer Debbie Harry who was chosen by Italian artist Enrico Violante for a portrait on a vinyl record.
If it comes to naming celebrity airbrush artists, Dutch artist Marissa Oosterlee would definitely be on the list. Two years ago, she moved from the Netherlands to the Spanish Costa Blanca and is telling us about her decision as well as her "new" life and work on the Mediterranean. Another icon in our industry was the great HR Giger. Polish artist Robert Ganczarski is a great fan and designed a 2008 Dodge Challenger with a HR Giger style. But instead of just sticking to Giger's monochrome retro designs, he pimped his work with bold candy colors.
And who’s your favourite celebrity? Paint him/her and send the artwork for our readers‘ gallery (see page 65)!
