SUMMARY: Create masterpieces right from your mobile device

Brushes is an iPhone app that puts the power of a painting application right onto your iPhone and iPod Touch. The app offers many features that a standard drawing iPhone application can't offer. Users can take advantage of the many layers that it offers and the variety of brushes that allow for very detailed and extremely textured paintings. The app utilizes the pinch zooming feature to give users the ability to add the smallest detail to their piece.

The app can zoom up to 1600% which is more than enough to make sure your textures are perfect. Photos can be added to layers from your gallery and all layers can be copy and pasted between paintings. After the piece is finished, Mac users can replay the painting using a free utility offered online. If you want to store the painting somewhere other than your phone, the app has a built-in web server so the files can be transferred to any PC.

Overall, the app offers the best painting experience on a mobile device that we have seen. It is easy, featured-filled, and offers a great way to create masterpieces while on the go. The app is listed for a medium price in the app store which is perfectly fine considering how much better it is than it's competition. If you are an artist who likes new mediums to create your work, this app is a great outlet. Check it out.
