Prepare Materials and Load Brush

What happens here

Begin by setting up your practice board (or actual trim area). The instructor uses a handheld paint pot, which is ideal for portability during trim work. Dip the angled brush into the paint, ensuring only about one-third to one-half of the bristles are submerged. Tap off excess paint on the side of the pot to prevent drips and ensure the brush is loaded evenly but not overloaded. This allows for better control and prevents paint from seeping under the edge.

Goal: The first step involves setting up the painting area, preparing the paint, and properly loading the angled brush to ensure optimal paint distribution for controlled application.
