How do you put paint onto a paintbrush?
By this, I don't mean that I can't paint blocks, but I can't figure out how to put paint onto a brush! What do I do?
Best Answer
You don't need to put paint onto a brush.
Simply equip and use it on the block or wall of your choice.
To paint blocks you need the brush , to paint walls you need the roller.
Maybe you just cant see the paint because its hard to notice. Try mixing 2 paints of a kind together in the dye vat to get a "Deep paint". Maybe you will notice it now.
Also certain blocks can't be painted.

Tap it gently against the side of the can: don't wipe the brush hard against the lip. The bristles should flex only slightly as you brush \u2013 don't over press \u2013 let the paint flow from the brush. Start at the top and work down, painting with light even strokes, working back into the wet edge.How do you brush paint brushes?
Before using a paint brush, it should be pre-wetted with water if a latex paint is being used, or mineral spirits for an oil base paint. The excess liquid should then be removed, leaving the brush damp but not wet. This step will help the paint transfer better to the surface, and make it easier to apply.Do you wet paint brushes before using them?
The porous surface of the roller holds much more paint than a brush and distributes an even layer of paint much faster. Different finishes can be achieved with different rollers: Rollers with a smooth surface will produce a smooth finish. Rollers with a thick or fluffy surface will create a more textured finish.Painting Tip - How to load a paint brush

Answer 2
With the paint brush or the paint roller equipped, you should automatically place paint, using the first paint can in your inventory, working from the top left. Two things to consider:
Ensure you are using the right tool
The paint roller is for background paint, the paint brush is for foreground paint. So if you try to use a roller on a chair, it will not work.
Ensure you are using the right paint for the job
Some tiles are to rich to contain paint. Others will take the paint, but display it very lightly. Buy yourself a Dye Vat from the Dye Trader, and use it to combine two of the same paint into its "deep paint" version. Deep paint not only looks a lot better, but is necessary to paint on things like stone and brick. The white, grey and black colours work without being turned into deep paint, and as such, do not currently have a deep counterpart.
