<\/p>\n
Clean the Wall<\/h3>\n
For painting walls with a paintbrush, the next step is to clean the wall. If the wall is very dirty, wash it with a cloth and some water. If the wall is relatively clean, just use a cloth to remove any dust.<\/p>\n
Start with Sensitive Areas<\/strong><\/p>\nWhether you’re applying primer or paint, start with sensitive areas like window edges. Use an angled brush for this. Only dip one-third of the brush into the paint to avoid drips.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re right-handed, paint from right to left. If you\u2019re left-handed, paint from left to right. Press the brush just enough to bend the bristles slightly. Do not press too hard.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Paint the Rest of the Wall<\/h3>\n
After painting the corners and important areas, the next step is to paint the rest of the wall. Like before, dip one-third of the brush into the paint and start painting.<\/p>\n
Hold the brush at a 45-degree angle and use diagonal strokes for better coverage. Then, complete the painting with horizontal strokes from top to bottom.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Smooth the Wet Paint<\/h3>\n
The next step in painting walls with a paintbrush is to smooth the wet paint. This requires careful attention. Gently move your brush over the wet paint in controlled strokes. The painted surface should be even and smooth to ensure a nice finish once it dries.<\/p>\n

Your work is almost done unless you want to apply a second coat. After painting, let the wall dry. The drying time can vary depending on the humidity in your area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
Apply the Second Coat<\/h3>\n
If needed, you can apply a second coat. After the first coat has dried, simply repeat the steps mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Clean Your Tools<\/h3>\n
After finishing your work, don’t forget to clean your tools. Wash your brushes with the appropriate solvent and hang them to dry. Gather all tools and dispose of any waste.<\/p>\n
