How to Use a Paint Roller

I'm doing a demonstration for Expert Village, Painting 101. About getting some paint on the wall. What we are going to do here is the same way that we are going to paint on the wall. We are going to paint inside of our paint paint. You have to roll into the paint small smooth strokes to get the whole roller wet. You don't want to splash, you don't want to go too quickly. Once the roller is good and wet, hold it up, make sure there are no drips and then we are ready to start painting on our wall. Again even though we are painting the whole wall and we are not worried about taping because we are going to paint everything, you don't want to touch the ceiling surface or the opposite wall because what happens when you touch if you can see there, the painting sticks in bubbles and it leaves an unsmooth painted surface that you will need to go back and smooth out at a later time.
