Painting and Drawing with a Brush and Pencil

Use the Brush tool to do freehand painting (or Impressionist Brush to paint over and blur an existing image). The Pencil tool right beside it in the toolbar works much the same, except pencil lines don't have soft edges.

Choose the Brush tool.

Set brush properties in the Options bar, such as Size.

Click and drag in the image area to apply each brush stroke.
