Abstract: A paint tray which may be held by a painter while he/she is painting is disclosed. The paint tray includes a reservoir formed by a front wall, a right wall, a left wall, a back wall, and a bottom wall. The front wall extends upwardly at a slight angle in order to form a ramp. The ramp may be used to remove excess paint from a painting tool. A handle is attached to a portion of the right wall, left wall, and back wall which extend upwardly. A hook is secured to the handle which may be held by the painter as he/she paints. Alternatively, the tray may be suspended to a structure via the hook. A tab with a notch formed therein extends generally perpendicularly from the back wall and hangs above the bottom wall. The tab is used to hold a painting tool.
