What happens here

Dip your brush into the paint, ensuring it's adequately loaded, then pat off any excess paint on the side of the paint container. As you carry the loaded brush from the container to the wall or surface you are painting, consciously or subconsciously rotate the brush. This rotation prevents paint from being pulled off the brush by gravity and movement, significantly reducing the chance of drips. This principle also applies when using a paint roller; continuous movement helps prevent drips.

Goal: Learn the proper way to load a brush with paint and a key technique to prevent drips while moving the brush from the paint container to the surface.
