Abstract
The present invention discloses an airbrush including an elongate body having an internal cavity and an external grip surface to be held in the hand of a user. A DC electric motor and an air pump driven by the motor are oriented within the body cavity. A switch is oriented on the elongate body external surface proximate to a finger of a user's hand. A removable pen having an internal liquid reservoir and a nib cooperates with the elongate body and extends within an air chamber having an outlet nozzle and an inlet coupled to the air pump. The user selectively actuates a switch to cause the motor to drive the pump providing an air stream of pressurized air to the air chamber which flows above the nib drawing liquid particles therefrom, into the air stream forming a mist which is sprayed from an outlet orifice of the outlet nozzle.
