History:
Brushes was originally created by Steve Sprang for the iPhone in 2009 and for the 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 modernize and support an app that has continued to be enjoyed by many artists.
