Probably seems like a very basic thing, but I am a beginner and need all the help I can get. Thank you for adding a picture of a mop brush and angled brush.

We recently added a picture of an angled and a mop brush to the blog article about shading/floating. I hope that better explains the look for both brushes. If you think you'd like to try a mop brush, look in the Donna Dewberry line of paint brushes. I use the mop brush occasionally, but tend to put my damp wet rag into use more often. Still, it's always good to try a different approach, and a mop brush might work really well for you. Thanks for your questions and comments. Always love hearing from you!

I always tend to be impatient and think I have to quickly wipe off the paint and start completely over.

Showing illustrations of what you are saying is helpful like the hand shading. Could you show "the longer tip of your brush" in an illustration and what a mop brush is?
