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

What happens here

Begin by applying paint to the top edge of the wall where it meets the ceiling. Use an angled sash brush, dipping it into the paint pail to load a moderate amount of paint. Carefully run the brush along the ceiling line, using a steady hand to create a clean, straight edge. The painter is standing on a painter's scaffold or step stool to reach the ceiling comfortably.

Goal: Create a precise paint line along the ceiling-wall intersection
