Hand brushing sometimes is necessary! #painting #painter #handbrush

What happens here

Before beginning to paint, ensure the surfaces are clean and free of dust or debris. While the video focuses on freehand cutting in, green painter's tape can be applied to baseboards and other areas where a guided line is desired or where you want to protect surfaces you don't intend to paint. This initial setup provides a clean foundation for painting.

Goal: Clean surfaces and protect areas not being painted.
