History.

Brushes was originally created by Steve Sprang for iPhone in 2009 and for iPad in 2010.  His last version, Brushes 3 was released in 2012, but was removed from the App Store in 2015.  I took over development to modernise and support an app that has continued to be enjoyed by so many artists.

Bugs keep piling up

Can't place images from the gallery anymore. This app is not well-maintained. For $2, it was worth the time I got out of it before it broke so badly, but I can't recommend it anymore without that feature.

Nothing works

I just paid for an empty app. There is nothing when I open it.

“Brushes”

This program is perfect for the creative artist. The real brush effects are amazing. Colors work with each other and when over layed creat blended colors the same as real water color. In painting this is called glazing and I never thought I would find it in computer program. However, I have to say the USER INTERFACE could be a tad more clear. Especially bothersome is the circular lines icon that shows up unexpectedly in the lower right corner. It seems to assume control but does nothing and won’t go away. This needs to be re thought.

Simple black lines impossible

How do I get a simple BLACK line? All I seem to get is grey and it is driving me nuts? I’ve used Brushes for years yet in the new versions I can’t manage to find a BLACK line - for my graphics BLACK is critical and I am stumped as to why I cannot creat one - regardless of brush or opacity they all come out grey and I’m really frustrated.
