Pattern Work & Detailing
📋 What it is
Fine details and patterns are painted with tiny, steady strokes and a good brush tip — patience and control, not speed.
🗣️ Coach says
The tiny details — eyes, patterns, trim — are what make people say “wow.” They come from a fine brush tip, a steady hand and going slow. Rushing a detail ruins it; patience and control win every time.
🧠 Memory hook
Details = fine tip + steady hand + go slow. Patience beats speed.

😲 Whoa!
A well-cared-for detail brush can hold a point fine enough to paint an eye smaller than this letter “o.”
