Precision with Bristle Edge

What happens here

The most crucial aspect of achieving a clean cut-in without tape is using only the very edge or 'point' of your paint brush's bristles to draw the line. This means you should not be pressing the entire width of the brush against the corner. Instead, turn the brush so that just the fine edge of the bristles is creating the line. For added stability and precision, some painters find it helpful to take a deep breath and hold it while making critical parts of the stroke.

Goal: Create sharp, accurate lines by using only the edge of the brush bristles.
