STOP Brush Drips. Master Painting FAST.

so somebody recently asked me on one of my social media platforms why does my paintbrush you know drip all the time and you know there's a couple reasons and one of them is cheap paints I mean cheap paints um have low resin content and have low solid content and um they're usually not very viscous and usually really thin and some cheap paints are gonna have a tendency to drip a lot more than a good high quality paint so along with a high-end paint you do need a high-end brush one of my favorite brushes this is a brook it's a handmade brush and by Premiere in New York and you really do get what you pay for you can go to the Dollar Store buy a dollar store brush the filaments or whatever it's made out of they're probably going to start falling out that same day you're going to be picking them off your wall high-end brushes the manufacturing process they're made to and they're built to last sometimes a lifetime if you take care of them properly but um premieres high-end brushes all they're handmade ones in New York they're made out of DuPont filaments Dupont filaments whole paint a lot better and release paint a lot better you're less likely to drip using a high-end filament so I'm going to talk a little bit about a technique too you know along with the brush itself and the painting so I always just take my brush I dip it into my paint get it loaded up I Pat it on the side now if I carry it from my brush right here to my wall I'm pulling on the paint and the brush and I'm and what's happening is the paint is wanting to come off the brush as I take it to the wall so one thing I teach my apprentices is you load up your brush and as you're taking it to your surface wherever you're going You're consciously or subconsciously rotating that brush your paint's never going to drip as long as your brush is rotating it's the same thing holds true with a roller as long as that roller is actively rolling to the wall you to sit here and talk all you want and that paint's not going to drip so load it up and twist as you go to cut in right so I'm going to give you you know one more tip when it comes to you know the technique when you're um painting why your paint might be dripping from your brush so got my brush right here and you're also going to say uh there's probably I mean this is a um a premier Brook it's what I use on the interior Corona the corona All-American is an absolute amazing brush I also like the Wooster Alpha so there's a couple woostering Proto made for good brushes too along with Premiere but here's another tip so if when I'm cutting in if I'm cutting in like this I'm always cutting in the paint on the top is not going to drip but there's actually paint building up on the bottom of my brush right here that's going to drip so I'm usually cutting in One Direction flipping over and cutting back in and finishing my cut in to keep the pain from ripping so my brush is actually rotating from Top bottom when I'm doing my cut in like this but the longer you wait so when you're doing your cut in the longer you're cutting in like this longer you're waiting the more odds you're going to get a drip coming off the bottom of that brush switch it over and come right back finish that cut in rotate your brush to your bucket and you're not going to get any grips [Music] thank you [Applause]
