Obstaja več tehnik risanja z zračnim čopičem. Nekatere zahtevajo veliko ur vaje in potrplenja, pa vendar se tovrstne poslikave umetniki poslužujejo ker omogoča doseganje zelo realističnih efektov pri izvedbi poslikav. Prvi zračni čopič se pojavi v poznih devetdesetih letih 18. stoletja, kar pomeni da je tovrstna poslikava v uporabi preko sto let.
