Even though it isn't truly a pencil grip, think of holding a paint brush like you would a pencil. Grab it toward the base (or the ferrule as it is officially known :-) with index finger on top, middle finger on one side and thumb on the other side - 4Keep this technique in mind whenever you paint. You'll gain control and just as important, you'll gain hand stamina to finish the big task. Thanks so much for reading my How To Hold a Paint Brush article
