As someone who intends to use his never-before0used airbrush (just a cheap testors, mind you) in the near future, I really liked your article.
Informationally, it was GREAT. The only suggestion I'd make is to change the part where you quoted the guy about thinning paints. Using such a small font AND making it italic meant there were a few sections I had to read a couple times to pick up all the words (imperfect eyes).
Thanks for posting the link!

I agree- great article!
Years ago I was airbrushing illustrations and it was really frustrating.
I was having clumping and all sorts of issues.
I was using windshield washer fluid as a thinner, and it didn't occur to me that could have been the cause.
At the time I didn't know about acrylic medium or flow extenders.
Hopefully this saves someone else the heartbreak of wrecking a piece.
I may even give the airbrush another try
