I am so frustrated trying to paint my crafts. I am making a lot of different crafts using clay, glass, and wood and they all need to be painted. It doesn't matter what I do, I just can't paint without having unsightly brush lines. I start with a primer and I have good paint brushes, but that doesn't seem to help. I'm really getting discouraged and I'm ready to give up. So, please, any help is greatly appreciated!

The brushes should be kolinsky or any other real fur. Usually seem to be squirrel. And watered down a bit maybe. I use a stay wet pad. A wet sponge with special paper on top that you put the paint on and it does t dry up as you use it it is so good. I paint in miniature in nails but hope this helps
What kind of paint are you using? If acrylic, you may want to try an enamel paint or a paint made for painting on glass.
if I am doing something that i do not want brush strokes. i actually use my finger.. i brush it on , and then go over it with my index finger to smooth it all....
I dab with a cheap cheap sponge. never any marks!
Adding water to acrylics helps remove the "drag lines" from a brush. You may also lightly mist for painted item with a fine mist waterer after you finish!
For larger painting projects, You might consider an inexpensive manual airbrush aspirator. You make up looser acrylic paint in a small glass container and use what looks like two metal straws connected on a hinge.
