Been painting for over 40 years (my own stuff) and I learned one little thing thing from this video (getting that excess paint off the top of the bristles on that narrow side). Worked like a charm as I was cutting in today. Thanks!

@@ExpressionsPainting, also watched your trim and baseboard videos. Good info. Wife was extremely pleased with the job I did on the dining room and living room. See some others bad-mouthing your techniques. Hey, your advice helped me do a better job than my just slappin' paint on the walls of years past. Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the great video. I tried your technique yesterday and it worked really well. Biggest takeaway was that I wasn't using the brush properly. Getting rid of excess paint on the tip and letting the middle of the brush deliver the paint was an eye opener. Tried it over the doors first and did the whole room without having to tape. I'm not a painter (my guy was booked up) and this was really helpful for a large bathroom. Saved a lot of time.

Me too… If I could paint it straight, I would! Even tape makes a mess someone suggested caulking the tape… but I don’t have a week to paint 1 room.
Exactly what I was looking for, and you did it quickly without having to hear a super long video. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. I saw a comment, “That’s why this guy is a pro, and we’re not.” From watching this video I have every confidence I can do it right. Thanks for sharing. I watched a plumber sweat pipe for a water heater. My friends that know plumbers for years said I didn’t do the job myself. Catch the important points. You made important points very clear. Thank you so much.
This is my most aggravating step in painting and you made it into a smooth process that I just have to practice. The cutting and feathering (fade in and out) was explained easily for an inexperienced painter

As a painter of 10 years, cutting is my favorite part. It's the easiest once you get the technique down
Hey man.. I'm a decorator in the UK and would like to thank you for all your hints and tips!! gotta get me some of those brushes!! great channel! Thank you.
This demo was very good, giving small useful tips for non professionals, doing small jobs in home on weekends.getting equipments, raw mat, &other misc. mat, like waste cloth etc.
Thank you, so much!! I learned that I must "feather out" the paint, after I cut in. I appreciate the time + energy you took to make this video!
I’m a professional painter (30 plus years). The Dude in the video has good skills and good advice for the diy-ers. I’d add: use a high quality angled sash brush with a “firm” to “very firm” bristle formulation, 2 to 2 1/2 inch wide and use a high quality “spatter” free wall paint. Some of the cheaper paint “trails” the brush from the bucket to the wall, resulting in long drips on the wall and will spatter on woodwork

Lol If you painted that many years you should know how to handle a brush and not allow those drips. If it does drip just use your wet rag that you should always have on you. If it hits the wall just feather it out and keep it moving.

The angle brush makes a huge difference. I have found a smaller brush about 45mm or say 1½" works best for me but I'm an ammature. I agree with using a thicker paint. Eg today I'm using a stain blocker, instantly thicker out of the can/tin. So much easier to get good coverage without drips.

stiff brush? no way. 2 inch brush on a wall? LOL... no, too small, too many strokes, less paint distribution. 2.5 - 4 inch is best. sash only work in one direction. a true wall brush can work in both directions.
your hand is so smooth and you are so patient. loved watching this.. I guess you don't drink much coffee in the morning to keep the jitters down!
Thank you so much! Your video is the first one that actually gives tips that work!! After watching your video I applied your techniques and finished my bathroom walls/floorboards without tape .... thank you !!!!!
Your video demonstrations are very helpful. Good tips very informative.
Great vid man! I painted professionally for years, and was fortunate to have an experienced painter teach me how to paint. I always get in that age old argument with the DIY’ers who are utterly shocked to see me painting and cutting a room without using painters tape, and I tell them if you use the proper brush for the job and learn how to use it, you’ll actually save time by not having to tape up everything. When I was trained, literally the first thing the man said to me was “If I ever catch you using painters tape, you’re out of of job because it slows the crew down and costs me money”.

Definitely a pro. Notice that he loads his brush by quickly slapping it 3-4 times against the side of the can, not by lifting it up and wiping it off against the inner rim. His method is faster, doesn't compress the bristles as much or as unevenly as wiping them against the rim, doesn't create a mess inside the can from the rim down, and also leaves more paint in the brush, which means that reloading is also less frequent.
Thank you very much for your help I feel more confident now that my job painting will be something to be proud of.....

Good video. I always feather off around plugs and light switches with a little rad roller. Just makes a nice transition.

tape's still useful for glass on window frames for them razor sharp edges, and next to zero cleanup
also I use masking tape on skirting because when you start painting with a roler, then many dots need to be clean etc.etc. It takes some few minutes but you are safe for all work, all day to the end...specialy if need second coat.
I'm a painting contractor and have to admit good video. Straightening out cut on second coat is key
I used to work for a painting company in Halifax. You're better than most of them. Keep being awesome.
Do you have any tips for cutting in with very textured walls? My walls have some sort of texture that was like plaster scraped on with a trowel? so that buts up against my crown molding and my floor trim. Great videos thank so much!
Great video. I like how you showed the time lapse of doing the job at the end of the video. It's nice to see it being done in a DIY video.

This dude is a straight boss. Surgical in his technique.
You need to talk about the first stroke where you are creating a paint reservoir to spread the paint. Moving it towards the center of the crease. Then. How its better to have a little excess on the ceiling than not enough on the walls. Also, I think its important to make the first cut as good as you can get it.I agree with straightening it out better later. But if you do it right the first time theres very little left to straighten. And you fly.I like your banjo music. I am the golden brush. Retired. I appreciate you helping others with your video. If you ever need my advice. I have 40 years experience as a journeyman painter, hanger.Good luck brother.
You’ve got a great presentation style. I liked how there was no music until the FF, smart. Hang in there, your channel will grow.

As a designer with enough info, I advice you to use washable glossy paint for bathrooms for next time if you already finished. Moisture is a huge problem ~ if you are using dry normal Paint, it isn't ideal and will come off in dear sweet short time :( Of course tiling bathroom walls is much more efficient Good luck :)
Great tip Remi. Easy peasy, thank you. My problem is, jumping around like a jackrabbit to get my speed up? Any tips?
What decent brushes do you syggest any particular make? Thankyou.More comfortable now to take on some of my decorating.
Thank you! You paint beautifully
well done. Thanks. Pls also advise what kind of paint I shpuld use. I mean what thickness? tks..
Thank you for the useful tips.
I like 3 for walls 2 for trim . The straight line starts with the first coat. Often its possible to cut once and roll twice. Being rested and relaxed is also very important.

True, and if your line is straight the first time, the second coat is much faster cause you don't have to get as close

I like your videos young man - I was joking yesterday on the roller in the sink clean out patio - but you have some pretty good skills there
I've been painting for 50 years, after 4 year apprenticeship. I've found that a straight, rather than an angle brush allows one to cut in in both directions. speed equals money.
Type of brush? Looks like a nice one I'm trying out new ones the past couple weekd
Perfect job. BRAVO.
wow! Amazing! Thanks for the tips!
Hello Rémi, first I would like to sincerely thank you for all of your helpful painting videos. I only have a year and a half of painting experience so I still have everything to learn. I'm curious if you have a preferred brand of brushes, roller sleeves and rollers. I work for a renovation and construction company in Québec and we buy Aqualine and Jasper brushes (mostly synthetic since we mostly work in latex paint) which are the best we've used so far. We try to always have an army of brushes on hand but we mostly use two and a half angle sash brushes and despite cleaning and storage, they still lose their form and spring after two job sites max. I've heard there are brushes and sleeves that could last a lifetime! Same principle with roller sleeves (we never clean ours - just toss them) and we buy Richard, ,Rona, Uberhaus, or Simms rollers and sleeves. Any preferences or suggestions? And thank you again!

Hi Tiffany, I have never worked with those brushes but I can tell you that a brush being out of shape after 2 jobs doesn't seem normal to me. Two things are important in order to maintain the brushes: 1- Proper Cleaning (see my video about how to wash brushes and rollers) 2- Proper storage in their original cases As for the roller sleeves, typically a roller doesn't work the best the first time you use it. So if you're throwing it out after each use you're never working with a proper roller sleeve. This effect is more evident in wooven rollers. As for my preferred brushes I like Nours Nature's Palette and Wooster Extra Firm both in the 2.5 inch sash. For roller sleeves it depends on what I'm painting. Ceiling I prefer a thicker wooven roller from Purdy. Walls I prefer a micro fiber roller 13mm. For cages and extension poles I'm a big fan of Wooster mostly because of the quick release system :)
What type of brush are you using I'm always ready to try new brushes

Very nice sire, jus curious do you generally fade your cut ins or do you also bankroll with a roller?

Hi what brush do ya use ,it looks thin & are they available in the UK.I noticed you cutting in working away from yourself,which way is best 👍🏻🙂
I’m in the process of decorating for the first time but I have t blended my edges so I can clearly see the difference between brush and roller. Can this be fixed? Tia!
I like the Wooster short Rubber Handle. What brush you use?
thanks for the tips!
Great videos Remi! Can you let the cutins dry before rolling as it is hard to keep a wet edge with cutins?
@ExpressionsPainting

That depends largely on the product and the color. Most products will make it possible to do so with light colors but not so much with the darker colors. On the other hand some products require you to wait for the cut lines to dry before rolling in the walls. Checking with the paint manufacturers data sheet is recommended here.
Nice and simple tip, thanks👍🏻
Great videos!!
Wow you make it look easy, thanks.

Do you do 2 coats of the edges before you use the roller to paint the whole wall? Or 1 coat on the edges and wall then repeat the whole procedure for a 2nd coat?
