PAINT APPLYING TOOL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a paint applying tool suitably usable for nail art and the skin, or for minute part such as stationery and a model, and allowing easy drawing of gradation patterns expressing particularly stepwise variation of contrast. SOLUTION: This paint applying tool is provided with a compressed air generating source; a paint applicator-like member for jetting air to the outside from the compressed air source, having no replenishing means for replenishing the paint during air jetting, merely impregnating and holding the paint; and a communication means communicating the applicator-like member with the air source. By atomizing and applying the paint impregnated and held in the applicator-like member with the air jetted via the communication means, the gradation patterns having stepwise variation of contrast can be easily formed with gradually decreasing paint.
