Abstract
A paint brush includes a sleeve circumscribing a portion of a handle and a portion of a plurality of bristles. A plug can be coupled to the handle. The plug can extend away from the handle into the plurality of bristles to form a space between the bristles. The plug can have a concave end that faces the space between the bristles. The concave end and the space together can form a paint reservoir within the plurality of bristles.
