This lovely fashion series by photographer Derek Pedros features a model whose outfits each incorporate paint brushes in one way or another. These fantastic shots turn artistic tools into fashionable accessories, adding an interesting element to this charming series.

The model is sporting a different elegant green gown in each of these shots. In one capture she is wearing a fist full of paint brushes in her hair, like an artistic headpiece. In another shot, the model holds up a paint brush while holding out a red covered finger. In one photo the model holds up a cup (shaped like a face) which is filled with paint brushes, and kisses it -- is she passionate about art, or just practicing?

This intriguing fashion series combines the joys of painting with some chic evening looks.
