The first upward stroke along the corner, your brush flicked (or the tip of bristles) the ceiling. A easy fix Great brush techniques. The guy that taught me, also added the little harder to see until your shown closely, fine detail of how the leading edge has a slight bead of paint that is your guiding edge. Keeping that edge, (I think it’s called surface tension in a more technical jargon) makes it work. Because my hands are actually pretty unsteady, I’m always surprised that I can actually still get good results. As for your ‘wiggle’ technique, I think that’s something I developed because of my unsteady hand. I can’t write or throw a ball with either hand, but I am ambidextrous when it comes to painting. Now if I could only learn to enjoy it.
i start half an inch below celing and do an 1,5 " first that will allow the brush to slide easier and let the right amount of paint on the brush when cutting
It helps a lot when you caulk the corners too you can get a nice cut in line and also when you dip your brush you brush right below the ceiling to get most of the excess paint off and makes your brush glide better to cut in
"We're going from a kind of a light gray to a blue-ish color, I don't know anything about it, my wife likes it, so that's what we're painting with"... every husband ever. Thanks for the tips!!
Great job with this video - I now have the patience and time to do this myself - mostly to save money- I’ve done all of my painting in my houses before and did a great job but had to tape everything and now I’m older and bolder and I’m no longer under a weekend time crush or in a hurry and that’s a great thing when you ve got a lot of painting to do- I appreciate that you mentioned training new people- you gave me confidence- thank you
I noticed that you're doing what appears to be a 4-5 inch deep cut-line. That's a very wise move on your part! Personally, I like a cut-lune that's at least that deep, and I'll actually use a 5-6 inch cut-line.. just to be sure that I don't bump against the ceiling. I've tried thinner cut-lunes before...and believe me, Brother, it just doesn't work for me. I've ended up getting paint on the ceilings with thinner cut-lines, and to have to go back, and touch up the ceilings in that kind of a scenario, is time-consuming, as you well know. You've actually given me two new ideas, as to how to do cut-lines...and I thank you very much for that. Have a great day!
Wish id seen this before i did my house, i used masking tape on the ceiling which meant i had to use an artists brush to touch up every wall when i removed it from the ceiling, phew.... but i still have 3 bedrooms to do and will follow this 😊, tx
If you need a good brush for cutting in those ceilings, we're running a buy one, get one sale right now! diypaintingsupply.com/products/the-original-cabinet-brush
My dad was a professional new construction house painter with several builder he worked for. He took all us kids to work and taught us to paint. Me and my sister right along with our brothers. I was a new construction painter for 38 years. We never ever used painters tape. Daddy would have died. We free handed all trim work. I can trim in a ceiling almost with my eyes shut.
You make it look easy , I could watch a thousand you tube videos , I don’t know why I’m sh__ at this ? . I’m a high end cabinetmaker , I sprayed 2k finishes for high end kitchen companies , but my cutting never meets my standards . I use the pad with wheels . Lol
Hi ! Thank you for asking. If you are painting both the ceilings and the walls, then ceilings are always painted first. Both the coats of ceiling paint are done first then we move onto the walls and paint the two coats on the walls.
So, you are cutting in the whole room prior to rolling? Usually, you cut in one wall, then roll that wall before it drys and then move onto the next wall. You will have brush marks above and below windows and above the doors. Use a small roller to eliminate brush marks. P.S., you are cutting in the wall not the ceiling.
Tip: You don’t need to brush down six inches. Brush down a couple of inches then before rolling the wall run your roller horizontally up around the top. Second tip: when choosing a dark colour be mindful it will appear darker once all the wall is painted compared to judging it on a small colour chip.
Start by practicing in your closets. Nobody will ever see if your cut in lines are straight in the closet. When I train new painters, I always have them painting closets before they graduate to other rooms.
This is just a general overview of painting right below ceiling. Can't really see him cutting in. Cam has to focus on the brush and how he control while doing it. I needed detail hands-on demo.
Best way to get the details you say you need is to wet a brush. Angle brushes have a ‘Chisel point’ to them. Pretty hard to screw up too bad if you just ease up to ceiling line. Not really Rocket Science!!
But we don't get to see the picture framing and lap marks you must get from cutting it all in first and talking all the way through it. I cut and roll at the same time feathering my cut lines down the wall and rolling up into the cut as close to the ceiling as possible. Twenty six years of painting and never had a lap mark or framing nor any complaints. Too many of these videos show how to cut in fast or how to paint a wall in 60 seconds. More often than not you're not seeing good results. Brushing such a wide section above the window like that makes no sense. I've used 7" rollers for years and with them you can get above and between more windows and doorways and brushing such a wide area you're going to get a different look and texture with a brush than a roller that you're using on the rest of the walls. He's so fast and great at cutting at 3:06 he kissed the ceiling in the corner cutting down where the two walls meet. Speed or quality work....you decide what you want.
I must have the worst brushes ever. Mine do not hold that much paint, the bristles would never be nice and flat and all together like yours and especially wouldn’t be even enough to paint without tape

It depends on the job. It looks to me that this is a kids room. You can go ahead and pay 70- 80$ for a gallon if you got the money but regular folks wouldn’t care if it’s not Benjamin Moore.
guaranteed that paint is on the ceiling because you are too high on the ladder. you are cutting the wall, not the ceiling, so you might want to change your title.

Thank you for showing me a different technique pushing up the paint to the ceiling line
Probably the best video I've seen for cutting in. Thanks for explaining and demonstrating how to cut in corners.
i start half an inch below celing and do an 1,5 " first that will allow the brush to slide easier and let the right amount of paint on the brush when cutting
Those little Pelican buckets are the BEST!

Im with you bro, i just painted the lounge pink ! She loves it... and that keeps this house fairly calm... my domain is the garden shed...😂
Wow - those are some clutch pointers! Thanks

2:16 That's absolutely crazy how you got in that corner, skills
Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise! Time to paint!!!
Have fun!
Whew. This saved me a lot of hassle today. Thank you.
Ok I can even do this!!! Thank you SO much, it has built my confidence 😊
Now THIS was the help and understanding I NEED Thank you!
Thanks for all the great advice. I really like the way you paint. Very helpful for me. Thank again....
You make it look so easy. Thank you…this is, definitely, the best cutting video.

Excellent video, thanks
Looks great, I’m going to try this. I usually bring the brush towards me but I am gonna try pushing it away like you do.
I suck at this. I tape the crap out of everything. Then go crazy with the roller. You are very good!!!!!
Great video, thank you for sharing! I really appreciate how easy you just made my entire project lol
Very helpful. How to hold the brush close to the bristles and to “push” the paint up to the ceiling and to go down 6 inches! Thanks.
It’s funny how much better cutting looks on a UA-cam video! Not saying you didn’t do a good job by the way because it looked perfect!
Wow. You're working on your very nice wood flooring without covers?
You splatted the ceiling immediately in the corner haha
Your so good with the brush :) Thank you!
how long do you let cuttings dry before painting the walls? and when you paint the walls do you go over the cuttings with a roll?
Wish id seen this before i did my house, i used masking tape on the ceiling which meant i had to use an artists brush to touch up every wall when i removed it from the ceiling, phew.... but i still have 3 bedrooms to do and will follow this 😊, tx

Any suggestions on how to do a stairwell? I am thinking about just using the same white as the ceiling. I don't have a ladder to get up there.
Awesome video brother
Great tips!
My dad was a professional new construction house painter with several builder he worked for. He took all us kids to work and taught us to paint. Me and my sister right along with our brothers.

Me too. Looks a mess.
No joke... been painting for over 20 yrs and only use tape when I have to. Amateurs.....lol
Come and do mine please. I did mine and it looks like stevie wonder did it 😂
Why are there people like you in the comments section? Some people are not pros and this helps. Would you all like a cookie for your lame comments?
@@x80WildCat08x Because we don't like people acting professional !!! Lol
Excellent. Thank you, I feel confident about my upcoming project.
Thank you so much this will help me a lot
Good stuff.
Very helpful, thank you
good info and great brush work
Thanks, great explanation.
Do I paint the ceiling first? How to cut that in??
When they cut in this quick/easy, I'm amazed they bother rolling rather than brushing full wall...
Awesome video! I think I’m too impatient to cut in like that, but I’m gonna try!
*👍💥 Nice job bro keep up the great work, New* Supporter, I look forward here From you!
I wish you lived in Indiana. I would hire you to paint my Victorian home. Thanks for the cutting tip
Thanks 👍🇺🇸
Looks like it's an angled brush. I'll try that out for cutting
Thank you!
Your a "BEAST" 💯
You make it look easy , I could watch a thousand you tube videos , I don’t know why I’m sh__ at this ? . I’m a high end cabinetmaker , I sprayed 2k finishes for high end kitchen companies , but my cutting never meets my standards . I use the pad with wheels . Lol
How about a video on removing popcorn ceilings? Cut-in tips were great.
Great idea!
3:07 Oops . . . 😉
Saw that too
IM. PAINTING. CEILING. TOO.
DO. I. PAINT. THE. WALLS. THAN. THE. CEILING. OR. CEILING. FIRST.
THANKS.

You will have brush marks above and below windows and above the doors. Use a small roller to eliminate brush marks. P.S., you are cutting in the wall not the ceiling.
You can brush the whole room first if you want. Depends on the colour and rolling technique.
Do you hold your breath when you do this
Weirdly, I do find myself doing that sometimes in really tricky cutting situations!
Last time, I got into a closet, I met with my skeletons and became a closet drinker.
I have smaller hands and these big brushes are just to heavy for me to handle…maybe do a video for people like me…paint brush alternative techniques…
It's exactly the same method, it just takes a little bit longer with a smaller brush.
I find it nearly impossible to paint a steady edge at the ceiling.
Tip: You don’t need to brush down six inches. Brush down a couple of inches then before rolling the wall run your roller horizontally up around the top.
Second tip: when choosing a dark colour be mindful it will appear darker once all the wall is painted compared to judging it on a small colour chip.
so getting paint on the ceiling doesn't matter then?
Nobody ever looks up anyway! 🤪
If anyone needs so practice just let me know I have a whole house that needs paint. 😂
WILL. THERE. IN THE. MORN. 🌹 🤣
Its not the same doing a demo paint then it is painting your own home, i havnt got the confidence going along the ceiling edge like he has .
Start by practicing in your closets. Nobody will ever see if your cut in lines are straight in the closet. When I train new painters, I always have them painting closets before they graduate to other rooms.
So if I want to learn how to paint a ceiling, cut in the ceiling, I should look for cutting in wall paint.

Cutting ceilings against a stipple or texture is easy
You went high line. Stay on low line you will be looking up . good painters know what I'm talking aging
ua-cam.com/video/bff0bGrUJVU/v-deo.html oops. touched the ceiling lol
Cutting in could be better
Buy a good brush that doesn’t cost 3$
Great video, but you're not actually painting the ceiling. Would love to see that.
My man does it better 😂
I don't know a single pro that uses Behr. Hard to take you seriously dude.
It depends on the job. It looks to me that this is a kids room. You can go ahead and pay 70- 80$ for a gallon if you got the money but regular folks wouldn’t care if it’s not Benjamin Moore.
My mom used to tell me that we are too poor to be buying cheap shoes.
Poor technique. I can teach you if you want
😂😂 always one

Just use tape
Literally impossible on a corrugated ceiling. It leaked, I’ll have to get ceiling molding now. 🫤
