A protective sheet positioned between the paint brush holder and the first end portion of the rod, wherein the protective sheet is operable between a stored position and a deployed position; a handle surrounding the rod, wherein the handle moves the protective sheet into the deployed position upon displacement of the same along the longitudinal axis toward the second end portion of the rod; and a retaining ring positioned about the first end portion of the rod, wherein the retaining ring precludes the handle from oil paintings sliding off of the rod.
The cleaning of paint brushes saturated with paint has always presented considerable difficulties. Paint often sticks to the bristles of hand-painted oil painting the brush and is difficult to remove. In addition, removing paint from saturated brushes often causes paint to splatter, thereby staining the clothes or skin of users and/or surrounding areas. Splattering is particularly problematic and potentially painful when paint contacts the eyes of the user. Various attempts have been made to combat this problem. Common cleaning devices are manually operated and do not always protect users from flying paint. Thus, not only do users need to expend energy clearing paint from saturated brushes, they are also exposed directly to paint and the chemicals found in paint.
There is a need, therefore, for a paint brush cleaning apparatus cheap oil paintings that resolves one or more of the foregoing difficulties. These and other aspects of the present invention will become apparent in light of the present specification, claims, and drawings.
