New Artool Instructional DVD and Templates

Artool Products Co. has announced the availability of two new products:  the Freehand Airbrush Instruction DVD by Bob Soroka and the Long Lines Series WIRED Freehand Airbrush Templates, designed by Dean Loucks.   In the new instructional DVD, Bob Soroka guides you through his original creation using Artool’s Signature Series Essential Seven Templates by the well-known artists in the Artool arena—the Angle Master, Matchmakers and the MASTER SERIES—designed by Radu Vero.  Armed with these templates and your airbrush, you can follow along to learn the tips and tricks of creating new and exciting freehand kustom artwork!

With the new Long Lines Series WIRED Freehand Airbrush Templates, you will now have an unlimited length to easily create artwork and graphics, which will also save time for achieving professional results on either flat or compound surfaces—from kustom rods and bikes to hot race boats, motor homes and even big-rig trailers!  The ends of the WIRED Freehand Templates can be interfaced for a completely seamless transition to either the next length of barbed wire or the gnarly knot of your choice.  You can also fill your WIRED artwork with colorful airbrush gradations for illusions of multi-layered 3-D relief FX.  The possibilities are endlessly kewl!
