What can be done to increase the spread of small splatters while keeping their size small?

Correct answer: Use little paint and flick gently from a slightly greater distance

The governing concept is control of paint load, distance, and flicking force. A small load limits the amount of paint released, so the droplets remain fine. Holding the brush slightly farther from the surface increases the area over which those fine droplets land, while a gentle flick prevents oversized spots. Pressing or pouring removes control and usually produces larger, uneven marks. Therefore, option C gives the best balance between small size and wider spread.
