We do use a brush every now and then! #paintlife #painter #painting

What happens here

Once a section of the ceiling edge or corner has been cut in with the brush, switch to a mini paint roller. Load the roller evenly with the light green paint from the paint pot or a paint tray. Apply the paint to the flat wall area immediately adjacent to the freshly brushed line. Roll just up to the brushed line, overlapping slightly, to ensure full coverage and a smooth, consistent texture. This step helps to seamlessly blend the brush strokes with the rolled finish, eliminating visible lines and speeding up the painting process in smaller or harder-to-reach flat areas.

Goal: Efficiently cover flat wall sections adjacent to cut-in lines and blend textures.
