I did, however, learn a little tip/trick last summer while being an adult volunteer for Prayer & Action.
Yes, that's a plastic tupperware-like container. And yes, that's a Ziploc bag.
Pour your paint in the container with a lid. Paint from there. If you're doing 2 coats or just don't want to do it all at once, then you can put the lid on and walk away from the project.
But what about the brush? Enter, Ziploc bag.
Put your wet (yes, brush w/ paint on it) into the bag. Squeeze the air out. Seal. You can come back hours or even DAYS later and the brush should be moist and you should be able to continue to paint (this means you don't have to wash it out after every single use if you're doing lots of window frames over several days!).
Best.Thing.Ever.

Fantastic idea!
I do this, but also put the brush in the fridge (maybe over-kill, but better safe than sorry - that's how I was taught). Also, for a more extended time between painting (and laziness, of course, on my part), putting the brushes in the freezer keeps them "most fresh" but you will have to let them thaw a bit before use.
I like the tupperware container idea. I have never tried that one as I usually can at least finish "the cup" (that I paint from)or pour it back in the can.
But, thanks for the good tips :)
