The belly of the brush is loaded with paint but the tip is dry. What stroke result is likely?

Correct answer: An irregular or broken start followed by more paint

The governing concept is even brush loading and the different roles of the tip and belly. A dry tip may fail to release paint at the beginning, producing a broken or faint start; as the brush bends or pressure increases, paint from the loaded belly reaches the surface and the mark becomes fuller. Thus option B is correct. An even fine line requires a properly loaded tip, while a dot or a colourless surface does not describe this pressure-and-paint sequence.
