Cory
Saint Clair brings us something no one else has done before, to this extent! Using Lumilor as a ground layer, Cory brings this panel to life, utilizing both the lit surface as one piece of art and the unlit surface as another. Achieving a portrait that looks as astonishing unlit as is does lit, provides a huge challenge. This 3 hour & 20 minutes of training walks you through this challenge from the ground up, revealing all the tricks and techniques needed to accomplish such a feat. This is an advanced video and recommended for Lumilor Applicators, looking to achieve lit portraits over the Lumilor substrate. While this video focuses on achieving a Lit portrait, it is also informative for artists not using Lumilor as a substrate. Cory's Advanced portrait techniques are taught in this video, along with many other specialty techniques used to block, change and enhance the lighting of Lumilor, to create a glowing Portrait.

Bio: Armed
with only an airbrush, Cory Saint Clair is out to rewrite the book on
automotive artwork. Cory Saint Clair flunked ninth grade art. Why? For
not following the rules. Fifteen years later, not much has changed. The
34-year-old still isn't playing by the book, but ironically, today
that's part of what makes him one of the premier airbrush artists in the
industry. I would rather punch myself in the face than paint more
flames and skulls, jokes Saint Clair, who's been trying to move away
from what he feels is cliché, instead implementing a fine-art approach
to his work. I'm tired of doing the evil stuff; I want to show that
there's a whole other world to this, and that there are real artists in
the airbrush game, he says. Aside from painting angels on a Lamborghini
Gallardo, he is currently finishing a depiction of the Sistine Chapel on
the headliner of his Dodge Magnum. For Saint Clair, it all started with
a copy of Airbrush Action and an Iwata airbrush he received for his
12th birthday. Everything I learned was all self-taught, because I
couldn't afford to go to an art school, he explains. I learned from
magazines. Sometimes we didnt have enough money to get them, but my mom
would always find a way to buy Airbrush Action, because she knew that
was my only avenue. From the very beginning, Saint Clair was out to
earn, and he quickly found a way to flip his passion for profit. Today
Saint Clair works on some of the top builds in the nation, including
much of Asantis fleet. A job by the man himself could cost you upwards
of $150,000, but as Cory says, If you have money to spend on a
Lamborghini, you can afford to paint it to set it apart. Its just paint.
Not a bad finish for the kid who failed art.
