With my brush fully loaded I can cover a lot more area with my paint. I could do a nice wide stroke by pushing down on my brush or I can ease up on my brush and do a nice thin line.

Pull it out and I mix it up out here on my palette. Again, I'm going to stick just the tip of my brush in that wet paint. Then I can apply more pressure on my brush to load it further up into the bristle of my brush. I just dipped the tip of it in that wet pigment and pull that out to mix it up. I don't want to get all that sticky pigment into my brush. You can see I'm not jamming my brush all the way into my pigment. I'm just going to mix up a nice purple color here. Kind of wipe all the excess moisture off the outside of it. When I first start out, make sure my brush is all nice and clean.

SUMMARY: Find out how to control the amount of water and paint that gets into your brush for better results.ĭo you sometimes feel like you’re painting blind?
