Question.
I do not own an airbrush (a properly decent one is definitely out of the budget for now, and a cheap $50 one will probably do more than $50 in damage, so never mind that) and my workspace is not very spraypaint friendly in various ways (nor am I that good with spraycans anyway).
For those who don't know what I'm talking about, zenithal highlighting is when you do a two-tone priming job. A black undercoat is applied to start, and then you lightly spray from the top down, giving you a rough and ready undercoat that simulates light from above.
Black gesso was something of a godsend for me, since it works wonders for sprayless priming. Now, I've seen folks get good results and save time by using zenithal priming using airbrushes and I'd really like to try it myself, but is there a way to do apply zenithal priming without compressed air of any kind? Can you drybrush it, or is that just a lost cause?
Anyone have anything that worked for them?
