Tips on Painting a Room

I have been painting my study for a few eons now - ever since Thanksgiving.  And I have come to the conclusion that the following things will contribute to a patchy first coat of paint and should be avoided at all costs:

• The beginning of the room, when you do not yet have a feel for the technique
• The end of the room, when you are fatigued
• The middle-of-the-room of despair, when you have been painting forever and there is a still an endless expanse of unpainted room to go
• Proximity to the ceiling
• Proximity to the floor
• Tiny spaces of limited brush movement
• Large walls of excessive freedom
• Too much light
• Too little light
• Wide, irregular strokes
• Even, perfect strokes
• Wet paint
• Dry paint

That's why you should get one of these and just plan of a second coat from the start.
