If you wish to create a lava base with an airbrush I can highly recommend Vince Venturella's guide:    • Hobby Cheating 67 - How to Make Lava ...  

Brushes used: Windsor & Newton Sizes 1 (buy here: http://amzn.to/2k7yByY), 2 + 3, Rosemary and Co Series 33 size 2, and Series 56 Size 3.

-Airbrush: I'm using the Iwata HP-C Plus (buy here: http://amzn.to/2ozbziX or for the UK here: http://amzn.to/2k7AAmQ)

Specific Rosemary and Co. brushes that could be a good basis for your first set of brushes (select "short handle"):
-Series 33 brushes, sizes 1 and 2:

-Series 56 flat brushes for dry brushing, size 3 for smaller areas, and size 6 for large:

-However, Series 768 are a much cheaper alternative you can use for dry brushing and will do the job just fine:
