Abstract: The invention relates to a painting tool and method of use for manipulating painting material on a painting surface. The method includes providing the tool, which includes a handle and blade. The blade is made of a resilient metal, has a matted surface, and includes handle, middle and distal sections. The handle section has a first end positioned within the middle third of the handle and a second end connected to the middle section. The middle section connects at a first end to the handle section and at a second end to the distal section. The distal section extends from the middle section and is in a distal section plane offset from the handle section. The distal section plane is at an angle to the handle section plane. The distal section is used to take a painting material and place and manipulate the painting material onto a painting surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a painting tool that includes a handle and a blade. The blade is made of a resilient metal material, has a matted, non-glare surface, and includes a handle section, a middle section, and a distal section. The handle section has a first end and a second end, the first end being positioned within the middle third of the length of the handle and the second end being connected to the middle section. The middle section connects at a first end to the handle section and forms an angle of between approximately 130 and 150 degrees with the handle section and connects at a second end to the distal section and forms an angle of between approximately 110 and 130 degrees with the distal section. The distal section extends from the middle section and is in a distal section plane that is offset from a handle section plane containing the handle section by between approximately 1.5 and 5 cm. The distal section plane is at an angle of between approximately 3 and 10 degrees to the handle section plane.
