Step 1 - Holding the brush
A steady hand and accuracy are essential when you are
trying to paint where two colours meet. Use a small
brush and narrow the width of the brush by turning it
on its edge to give greater accuracy. Hold the brush
firmly between your thumb and forefinger for maximum
control.
Step 2 - Loading the brush
In order to give greater control over the flow of
paint load the brush so it is about 1/3 full with
paint. Carefully wipe the excess on the edge of the
paint kettle, allowing the extra to run back into
the tin.
Step 3 - Working towards the edge
Start slightly away from the edge and gradually
work your way closer and closer. Squeeze the paint
from the brush slowly.
Step 4 - Drawing the brush down
For a vertical edge gradually draw the brush down
in a continuous stroke. Remember you have to paint
to a wet edge.
