Using a magnifying visor helps me a lot, as does bracing my hands together on the table to paint small objects that are held by a 3rd hand or other device. Many people shake from a deficiency of B-12 or condition that prevents the body from getting B-12 from foods, but that's a more profound shake than I have. I spent many years working with my hands doing woodwork with hand tools, so my trouble is muscle tone, as age-related atrophy isn't even or consistent. My hands have a lot of arthritis in them, and that adds to the problem. I use power tools now, and that can also make you shake so you really can't win. The smallest brushes help, of course, but I went to a 30/0 brush a long time ago, so the shake kinda "caught up" with that.
