Imagination and the Wizard of Oz.

Here's the deal. You CAN'T REMOVE swirls by hand in a timely manner. If you are doing 40 years to life, have some very young joints and quick results don't interest you then fine, work by hand. But if you have any real expectation of removing swirls from your paint within your lifetime, here's your thread. You will also want to look at these two videos first.

Make sure that you have pen and paper ready. There's more info in those videos than you can remotely imagine.
