The One Stroke™ serully brushes you can buy arc ready «0 use. All you have to do is “fluff che scruff” — remove che brush from the packaging and form the bristles into an oval shape by gen- tly palling them, then twist the bristles in the palm of your hand uncil they are a nice oval shape. Now youre ready eo pounce the beush into: paine and begin ‘A fluffed scruffy brush is used to paint mosses, wisteria, lilacs, ind fur, fauix finishes, and shading textures. This brush is not used with water. To clean, pounce the bristles in the Brush Basin® = dont rake them; the natural bristles can break. Allow the brush to dry thor- ‘oughly before painting with it again Flat Brushes: #2, #4, 26, #8, #10, 212, 3/4", 17, and 1-1/2" ‘One Stroke™ flat brushes are designed with longer brise tles and les thickness in the body of the brush than other flat brushes, so they have a much sharper chisel edge. A sharp chisel edge is essential as most of the strokes begin, and then end on the chisel edge. “These brushes are ready 10 use from the package.

Flar One Stroke" brushes are synthetic and don't have a tendency to break, bur be gentle, Remember everyonc’s comfort zone is different. While one painter is comfortable using a #10, another painter may be just as comfortable with 2 3/4" fat brush. Use the size beush that is suitable for the size of your project and with which you feel most comfortable. Script liners: Tina sizes, #2 and #1 # The #1 script liner (sometimes referred to as the mini) i used for small detail work where a lot of control is needed. ©The #2 script liner is used where less control is needed, such as whem painting curlicues or string ribbons. ‘They are used with paine that is inky (thinned with water to the consistency of ink.) Use them this way: Wer the beush, Load paine on your paleste. Dip the brush in water three ta four times. Roll the wer brush in che painc, twirling the brush to load.

Using a sponge is similar to using a scruffy brush — if you ‘over-pounce, you will ruddy up the look. You wane the colors to be distinct. (On a small project, you could use a serufly brush instead of a sponge.) 1, Squceze paint colors on your palette as directed. 2. Dampeh a household sponge in water, squeeze dry. 3.
