How to finger paint on your iPhone with Brushes

How to finger paint on your iPhone with Brushes

Create works of art with just your finger and your phone

Brushes is a great application for artists who want to use their iPhone to paint – it’s so good, Jorge Colombo even drew a cover for The New Yorker magazine with it while queuing outside Madam Tussaud’s.

It takes advantage of the simple power and skill everyone has with finger painting, gives you a blank canvas, and lets you go. Here we’re going to show you its tools – the brush and colour pickers, the eyedropper, the fill tool, as well as how to zoom in and out. Then, when you’re done, you’ll be able to share your work using Brushes’ Gallery.
