Use a Large rubber band to strain paint off your paintbrush. Simply place it over the center of the opened paint can and wipe over it to save on your paint instead of rubbing your brush against the edge of the can.
as a professional scenic artist and faux finisher, I was taught not to wipe the excess paint from the brush onto the can or anywhere else. Dip the brush in the paint about half way and slap/tap it lightly on the inside of the can. This slapping motion knocks off excess paint and the paint doesn't get down into the ferrule of the brush. Wiping the brush on the rim of the can causes paint build-up and makes it difficult for the lid to close.
