The present invention provides a resting position that clips on the side of the paint can, holding the bristles over the mouth of the paint can. An edge on which to scrape off excess paint.

A Specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: Figure 1 shows in perspective, the brush steady.

Figure 2 shows the brush steady in position with a brush in the rest position.

Figure 3 shows the brush steady in position with a brush being wiped on the scraper edge.

Referring to the drawing in Fig. 1 the lower clip A holds the upper rest B in position over the paint can.

The drawing in Fig. 2 shows a brush C on the rest B with the clip A over the edge of the can D.

The drawing in Fig. 3 shows a brush C being drawn over the edge of the rest B in an upward movement to remove excess paint back into the can D.

1. A paint brush steady comprising a clip; a rest and a scraping edge.

2. A paint brush steady as claimed in claim 1. wherein the clip holds the rest over a paint can to allow drips to fall into the can.
