How To Load A Paint Brush
To avoid dripping and to keep your hands and fingers clean, do not sink the paint brush up to the metal ferrule. Only dip the paint brush about halfway into the paint.
After you have dipped the paint brush into the paint let it drip for a moment, then lightly tap both sides of the paint brush against the interior wall of your paint bucket. Do not use the lip of your paint bucket to scrape excess paint out of the paint brush; this is messy and counterproductive because it removes all the paint you have just loaded into your brush. With your fully loaded paint brush always work from the unpainted area into the freshly painted section (using the cutting-in lines that should already be done as a guide) with long full strokes. When paint starts to break up without covering the surface properly it is time to load your paint brush once again. NOTE: In the case of large areas, a paint pole and roller brush will cover larger areas in the least amount of time and with the same degree of cover as with a paint brush and more efficiently so long as you follow the cutting-in lines correctly. Of course, practice is the best teacher and "less is more" when it comes to how much paint to apply and how to apply strokes that will have the most effective look.
