Make sure there is fresh paint on the palette to work with. Thin the paint to an inky consistency using water, this will help the paint to “flow” better. Do not dip the liner brush in the paint, but instead, pull the brush out from the paint, turning the brush as it is being loaded. The tip of the brush is used for lining, so the brush must be held straight up and down when painting. If the brush is slightly angled, a thicker line will be made by the sides of the brush. The thickness of the lines depends on how much pressure is put on the brush, if more pressure is put on the brush by pushing down, the line will be thicker, if a light touch is used, the line will be thinner. Always remember to pull the brush toward yourself as you paint, this will mean moving your project around as you go. Practice on your palette or a scrap piece of wood to get the feel of lining.
