Great demonstration. A lot of what we do for decoration is up to the imagination. This video highlights that tremendously.
As to dumping paint out the top of the paint container, try going to a suction feed arrangement rather than a gravity feed as shown in the video. You can tip the brush in just about any direction and the paint won't leave the jar. The gravity feed system is very prone to that little problem.

I prefer the smaller cup as I'm hopeless at guesstimating how much paint I need ,so with a bigger cup I end up wasting more lol
