How to cut a straight line like a pro

Hello, my name is R bu, owner of Expressions Painting and in this video I will show you how to cut like a pro. The first thing you should do before trying to make a

straight

cut or a precision cut is to fill your brush with paint and that is the step we call preparing the brush and to do it just go to a corner or anywhere where you really don't have to be precise and make a couple of strokes like this after a few times you will notice that the paint has started to make its way to the center of the brush and that is when you will be ready to work precisely once the brush is properly prepared, as we just speaking, that's when you can really start working with precision, especially along the edges. of the ceiling, for example, what you do is first wet the brush, put enough paint on it, if you don't have enough paint, the problem is that you will get stuck working in small strokes and it is very difficult to keep a

straight

line

.

When you do it that way, you want to have a good quality paint, but in order to work with longer strides, which makes the

line

nicer, the first thing you want to do is spread the paint. roughly on the wall, but the main thing is you want to remove the paint that's on top of the bristles, right here those are the bristles that are going to give you that straight line and you want to really work the bristles or let the bristles get into the corners, but if you have too much paint on them they will end up touching the ceiling, so when you do this, you remove the excess paint from the top and then you make continuous strokes and then you go back and forth when you've done the cutting part here.

You want to fade the bottom of the cut. This is very important. You want to do this at this point because the transition from the brush finish to the roller finish is not the same. so you want to have a fade with the brush and a fade with the roller. An important point I like to highlight here is that perfection is not necessary on the first cut, don't punish yourself by repeating the same areas over and over again. just to get that perfect line, do your best, but remember that a second coat comes and that's when you fix any imperfections you may have missed in the first coat, oh n.
