                      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 colour 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 colour in the
                      image. Flow slider determines how quickly the Brush Tool applies the
                      colour. You can also select foreground color i.e., the colour in the upper
                      box, and background color i.e., the colour in the lower box.
