Brush Technique

Print VersionBookmarkEmail this page to a friend.
Good brush technique is important to insure a neat, clean paint job. Hold the brush with your thumb on one side and your fingers on the other. Dip about a third of the brush in the paint and make sure to get rid of the excess. Keep the brush perpendicular to the surface, and use light strokes to avoid lap marks.
