Using the very corner of your brush to shade can be very effective to create a tapered edge with a crisp outline. If you have an area that looks a little blah, you can use a color that is 1-2 shades darker (or lighter depending on your desired outcome) to border the edges. You can use this technique not only to shade edges but to create, by using this brush stroke to draw in designs and detail, leaving a soft look. So, whether you are after dramatic or subtle, this stroke is a definite addition to your skill set!
