Abstract
A fine artist paint brush rest (10) to be used in conjunction with a flat surface. The paint brush rest comprises a first side plane (18) and a second side plane (20) joined together at the top edges to form an extended A-frame configuration with a single bend which allows the bottom edges of each side plane to act as the base of the device (10). The paint brush rest (10) has several notches (12) removed from the apex designed to receive the uppermost portion of a fine artist paint brush (24) for the purpose of stabilizing brushes to prevent smearing of paint on unwanted areas and to protect and extend the life of the paint brush (24).
