To help stretch out the life of your brush when using latex try dipping the brush in some dish soap then squeezing it out before using the latex. You can clean the latex off between coats with the dish soap as well. It should help to keep the latex on your brush from drying out. At the stage in the photo you could try to use a wedge of sponge to stipple the latex on to the piece instead of a brush. Hope that helps in the future.
