Abstract: A package for holding and displaying paint brushes includes one or more receptacles for holding paint. Once the paint brushes are removed from the package, empty paint receptacles formed in the cover of the package can be filled with paint and thereby serve as an artist's palette. The package can be reused over and over and thereby reduce trash.

Abstract: A paintbrush has a handle and a ferrule connected to one end of the handle. The ferrule including an injection-molded part, and a plurality of brush heads are attached to the handle via the ferrule. The brush heads are embedded in the injection-molded part.

Abstract: A container is provided which includes a closed compartment which is formed by a stay wet tray and a cover. The stay wet tray covers a cavity formed in a base. The base includes projecting portions and recesses for supporting and shaping artists' brushes and the stay wet tray facilitates storage of wet palettes, partially completed art work and paper. The cover includes projecting portions which prevent unwanted curling and drying of sheets of paper which are placed on the stay wet tray. A flange around the base adjacent to the cover provides holes for storing brushes.
