Practice and patience are needed, and just not any painter on a painting crew is allowed to paint trim. Any professional painting contractor worth his salt, will have designated trim painters. A little questioning always reveals to a project manager or homeowner that these are the most experienced painters on the job site. Simply put, not just any painter can paint or cut around trim. It's a skill that's typically acquired over a period of years, and homeowners are not recommended to try it themselves. But if you must! First load the brush with a good amount of paint then apply the brush to the wall close to the trim.  Fan the bristles to create an oval shape and move the brush parallel to the trim moving the edge of the fanned bristles to the edge of the trim.  If you are getting a good straight line, keep going until the paint runs out of the brush.
