Don't sell yourself short!! It's an elite art only because not too many people are doing it, it's actually not that hard with the right amount of practice and observance of form.

Hey, 53chevy when you start out, dab the brush in the reducer, then use your hands to smooth out the tip. Put some paint down where you are mixing (I use an old telephone book- that's oldschool!) Then swipe the brush back and fourth working all the paint into the brush (side to side swiping motion)... If it feels too smooth don't use any more reducer --- if it drags, just give a drop or two of reducer to the mix.

It's hard to explain it all like this.. but I hope this helps you! Next time you are in New England at a show, look me up!
