Ray; In my abstract work years ago I incorporated striping in many of my painting, and before that painted in realism for years, delving into Surrealism occasionally. Much of the work in Surrealism is done with smaller brushes to acquire detail. and you need a very steady hand, as well as a way of holding yourself steady while painting. The same would be true of striping a frame, as a steady hand is needed, and you need to find ways to hold yourself still while doing the striping. No matter how good the quality of equipment, knowledge of how to the equipment, as well as the skill and care that go into the usage all apply.
