Nigel,

In my very basic trials with a brush the one thing that I find the biggest chore is the whole process of cleaning it out afterwards. Are there any short cuts or quick fixes to help with making this task any easier?

Also another worry I have is putting the brush down while I reposition the job and the paint starts to dry on the brush. Is this a realistic worry and if so should the job be thought out sufficiently well enough to ensure that the painting can be done as quickly as possible without interruptions?

Thanks for the guidance, I really enjoy your tutorial and the further questions it generates.
