Once the paint is applied and distributed on the wall or ceiling surface, the next step is to smooth it out.
- This part is all finesse. Simply draw the brush lightly and across in long smooth strokes to make the painted surface even and eliminate brush strokes going in different directions. Always work (brush) into the wet paint.
- At the end of each stroke, lift the paint brush from the surface. This action serves as a kind of feathering of the paint.
