My water bucket setup.

Instead of letting your brushes float in the water, the spring holders
keep only the bristles under water, extending the life of the brush.

I cut the notches out with a utility knife and attached the spring holders
with paperclips. I've been using this bucket for over a decade now.

I did this demo mainly to test out a new camera setup.
I used a Flip Mino HD and I think it's a big improvement
over the last demos where you mostly just see the back of my head.
 The posted YouTube video is not nearly as sharp as the original
so I need to figure out better compression settings.

Samurai Jack Painting Demo 4
My first "art" job was painting billboards, signs and murals
for a company called Team Ekistics in Los Angeles. This
is a small Easter billboard for Aahs! on Sunset Blvd.
painted entirely with a Paasche airbrush. It was not
removable so it had to be painted on site.

I work out the colors beforehand so I can
 concentrate on technique during the final painting.
