Whether you want to paint outdoors or indoors, there is a method to painting a straight line that many people are not aware of. Most painters call this method “cutting a line’. If you use this method to paint you will end up with a far straighter line that any other method.
First you are going to look at the area that you are trying to paint. Are you painting close to an indoor window or an outdoor window that has a raised frame around it? Maybe you aim to paint all the way up to a corner on a wall using a totally different color of paint than the wall next to it.
You’ll want to make sure that the brush you use to paint with is one of quality. Check the bristles to make sure that they’re evenly cut instead of sloppily poking out everywhere. Then, the way to paint your straight line against your window frame or corner is to take the paintbrush into your hand as if it is a giant pencil. Place your first finger onto the topside of the paintbrush and your middle finger slightly below onto the flat front, bracing it with your thumb on the other side. Then you are going to use a sideways painting motion rather than a regular up-and-down paint stroke.
You will want to make sure there is plenty of paint on your brush but keep it from reaching into the bristles any farther than about halfway. Start off slowly with your bristles pressed sideways, lined up with the area you intend to paint, press the bristles slightly until they curve a little and stroke downward watching as the sideways bristles form a line. As you learn what pressure you need to apply and how far the bristles are going to expand as you paint you can move the brush in closer until you reach the area you want the straight line at. Once you are comfortable with the amount of pressure you need to use you can then go a little faster and paint a beautiful line from top to bottom or side to side with ease.
