That's where it would be if it was me. You don't want to be stepping over it. I only move it a few times on a side. It's easy to walk back a few steps and load the roller. In the area she's doing, I'd roll 3 maybe 4 feet before tipping. I'm outside so the drying is ever changing. I guess her brush is in the pail. That's an idea I'll use. I usually put the brush in the edge of the roller pan or hold it in my left hand(I'm left handed and comfortable brushing with either) while I roll.
Once you get to this area, it slows down as it's a stretch from the toe rail to the boot top. Notice her staging is up one rung?
