Abstract
A portable wet paint brush holder which is formed by a substantially rectangular bottom panel, vertical front and rear walls, and substantially rectangular side walls forming an enclosure with a top opening for receiving the brush portion of a conventional paint brush having the handle extending in an upward direction. One of the side walls of the holder is substantially vertical, but the other is outwardly inclined from the vertical at the bottom by an acute angle of the order of thirty degrees so that the enclosure top opening is larger than the bottom portion. A flexible clip is attached to the rear wall adjacent to the angled side wall and the top of the rear wall for holding the paint brush handle and a flexible hinged gripper extends from the rear wall at the top for securing the holder to an external object such as the painter's belt or to a ladder strut or the lip of a paint can.
