Paint brush

In the interior decoration, the gesture of holding the brush is also very particular. If it is properly held, it will help to delay fatigue and make the working process clean and orderly. The handles of the frame brush and the window frame brush are pencil shaped, so the holding method of the two brushes is very similar to that of the pencil, that is, hold them with the thumb, index finger and middle finger. This technique allows you to control all kinds of complex painting actions at will. When holding a beaver tail handle with larger brushes, you need more force to hold them because they are wider and heavier. Hold the brush handle with the whole hand, making full use of the width of the palm, just like holding a tennis racket. This technique is applicable when you are painting a large area of flat surface.
To dip the brush with paint, you should be careful: you can not only paint as much as possible on the wall, but also avoid dropping the paint on the floor and you during the painting process. This skill can be learned in a few minutes. The key is to accurately control the amount of paint contained in the brush. Specifically, wet the brush before painting (emulsion paint is diluted with water, and other types of paint are diluted with corresponding diluents), so that the brush can adapt to the paint and paint more efficiently. Gently knock the metal plate surrounding the handle on the palm edge to make the excess water flow into the pool or bucket.
When dipping the paint, turn the brush slightly in the paint to open the bristles and fully absorb the paint. Each time you dip the paint, gently push the brush into the paint, so that you can more easily dip the brush into the paint. For most latex paints, just dip the brush into the paint, then lift the brush and wait for a few seconds to let the excess paint drip off, and then brush the wall with it. However, when using thinner paint, you may need to tap the inner wall of the paint can with a brush, or drag the brush through the inner edge of the can mouth to remove the excess paint.
If you want to clean and tidy brush a straight line at the intersection of two edges or two colors (this is called "brush connection"), you can use a frame brush with conical bristles (the end of the brush is similar to a chisel). Brush five to six times along the vertical ceiling edge or wall edge. Next, from the corner of the wall, apply another layer of paint perpendicular to the several layers of paint just applied. The distance should be long, so that the first few layers of paint can be smoothed.
At the intersection of the wall and the ceiling, first brush the wall from top to bottom, and then brush a layer along the horizontal direction to smooth the previously brushed paint. On the ceiling, paint a few lines toward the center of the room and away from the wall. Then apply a horizontal brush along the wall on the ceiling to smooth the previously applied paint. Even if you use the same paint color on adjacent surfaces, you should follow this brushing method, leaving a 5 cm wide boundary, rather than directly brushing to the corner with a brush dipped in paint. This can prevent the paint from dripping and flowing down.
Another brush connection method is "ridging", which can protect paint areas from mutual influence almost without masking tape. Decorate the brush with an inclined surface with long bristles. The way to hold the brush is that the thumb is on one side of the metal hoop and the other four fingers are on the other side. Press the brush gently onto the wall, and then apply sufficient pressure while moving the brush to keep the bristles bent in the brushing direction. Keep the brush about 0.16 cm away from the painted wall on the other side. The curved bristles and pressure will cause the brush to release small paint beads, which will spread into the blank area.
When using these two brushing methods, especially when dealing with two colors, the brush can be dry. This is a delicate job. If you want the painting work to be effective, each time you brush it slowly, and brush 10.16 to 12.7 cm of paint. This job may seem a little boring at first, but your speed and accuracy will continue to improve with the increase of practice. Even an ordinary house can give you many opportunities to practice
