                        PAINTING TOOLS

                 A painting tools are used to change the area of the canvas or image by adding paint strokes or filling
                 the areas with color. Photoshop provides different types of painting tools. Let’s learn about them.

                      Brush Tool

                 Brush Tool is a traditional painting tool which is used to apply
                 colors with strokes on the image. You can see several brush presets
                 samples available in the  Brush Preset Picker in the  Options bar.
                 While selecting the brush tip/presets, it also allows you to modify the
                 size and hardness of the brush. You can also adjust the flow of the
                 color on the screen with the help of different Modes available in the
                 Options bar. Opacity slider in the Options bar controls the thickness
                 of the color in the image. Flow determines how quickly the Brush Tool
                 applies the color. You can also select foreground color i.e., the color
                 in the upper box, and background color i.e., the color in the lower
                 box.                                                                          Brush Preset Picker

                 Here, the foreground color blue and the background color is white. Follow the below steps to use the
                 Brush Tool:
