Paint brush

Abstract

An artist's paint brush comprises a ferrule having a forward end and a backward end, an elongated handle connected to the backward end of the ferrule, and a brush portion secured to the forward end of the ferrule and extending outwardly therefrom. The brush portion has at least two pluralities of bristle tufts, with the pluralities of bristle tufts being spaced apart from each other by lengths of the bristle tufts.
