Erasing Paint

I though I'd explain something I have found to be exceptionally useful. Since I've been painting a lot of bright colors lately, I've stumbled upon a way to erase painting mistakes.
Step 1: Make a mistake when painting. This is really a problem when you get black on your yellow for example.
Step 2: Quickly rinse your brush and leave it a little bit wet.
Step 3: Apply water to the spot where you want the paint gone. The principle here is that you're going to water down the paint in that spot and then suck it up with a dry brush.
Step 4: Dry your brush (or grab a dry brush) and use it to mop up the painty water.
Step 5: If you've done this all quickly and carefully, you should no longer have paint in the affected area!
