You know what they should invent? Paint markers. Or pencils. Some sort of stick-like instrument useful for distributing paint, anyways. Then all us klutzes who are crap with fiddly little brushes but reasonably okay with a pencil could paint things with fine details that we’re actually satisfied with[1].
I know they already make watercolour crayons. Someone just has to invent a system for acrylics and/or oils.
[1] Yes, I *am* staring at some paintings I did last year. Why do you ask?

My name is Maaike Charron, and I'm a potter in St. John's, Newfoundland. I started fiddling around with pottery in summer 2006, when I was told volunteering in the local clay studio would get me free studio time. I mostly taught myself, spending a lot of time poring over books, magazines and websites, and occasionally pestering the more advanced (but very helpful) potters around me with questions. After about two years, I decided I'd gotten good enough to go into business for myself. This blog, started after my first big craft fair, was created to document the process of becoming a wondrously succesful craftsperson. (Or it will document How Not To Do It. We'll see.)

Have you tried syringes or squeeze bottles with extra fine tips? I use them for acrylic-based fabric paints for that kind of control with excellent results.
I haven’t! That’d be worth a try for sure. Will keep in mind.
