Everyone loves these paints, but me! Brush strokes show, it streaks, can't get even an coat with any of the paints. I have the brushes, etc. What am I doing wrong? And bubbles pop up after I put the paint on. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Debbie,
The transparent nature of these paints does produce streaks especially if you're painting a large design.

To minimize this, use a brush that is large enough to allow you to paint with a minimal number of strokes.

As for bubbles, gently stir the paints and let them settle for a few minutes before using them. It's also possible that while you're trying to "fix" the streaks you may be overworking the paint thus creating air pockets.

I hope this helps.
