Sometimes I try to paint a bit, but to paint some parts in a picture I need a balancing stick. The fine details in the face of my grandson I can't paint without such a stick. Here's one I made with a sugru top. Paul, Austria. [We asked "How does the balancing stick work?" and Paul explained "If you are a right hand person you place with your left hand the the painting stick (the head) on a dry area next to the place where you want to paint very precice details. Your right hand with the brush you can now place on any place of the painting stick and now you can easily paint very precise without making mistakes."]
