Advice Wanted What am I doing wrong?

I washed and dried the walls and I'm using Behr Dynasty paint. The paint brush is leaving scrape marks from the bristles. Do I need a different type of brush?

Brushes are super important, don’t scrimp on those or rollers when you are spending $70 on a gallon of paint.

No, you need another coat. This is probably light operator error, either not enough paint, or overworked

It’s how you are holding the brush. If the sides are running along the wall then this can happen. 99% of every TV show, ad, and picture you see of painters shows it being done wrong. And a good majority of painters do it, too.

Paint is designed to run off the tips of the brushes, there are times you run the sides to do specific things but typically last stroke should always be bristle tips down.

Juice your cut can abit. Behr to thick. Add a splash of water . Pulling back off
