The lovely Claire Anderson of Clairella Cakes has graced us with an airbrushing basics tutorial to get any beginner started! This free (yes, I said free!) tutorial covers airbrushing your board, a lovely airbrushed water effect, airbrushing a mermaid tail as well as how to do some realistic shells!

Mermaid Airbrush Cake Tutorial

Claire demonstrates an interesting way to use a twig stencil to create a lovely water reflection effect that is pure genius! She talks us through creating the gradient and mixing colors to achieve the color you want while also adding highlights and dimension.

Slow build up of color is one of Claire's tips and the subtle amounts make these shells really look fabulously real!
