That compressor will work just fine. I would add a regulator to it if it doesn't have one. I added one to my little pancake compressor that shows the tank pressure and the hose pressure. Makes life real easy. You can also get a small regulator that goes on the hose. I would stick to acrylics to learn. Clean up is easy. You can start out with the cheap stuff at craft stores and have some pretty good results. Unfortunately, AC moore just got rid of a while big section of acrylic paints and replaced it with stuff that is not as good. Thin it with airbrush medium (best) or water so it is like milk. One thing I learned about airbrushing and I am as far from an artist as you can get, is to do not try to load on the paint. You will get nice results if you take your time and layer on the paint in very thin layers until you get what you are looking for. Heat setting it with a cheap hair dryer helps out too. j It takes patience and time to learn, but best of luck.
