Affinity Photo
You can have all sorts of fun with brushes in Affinity Photo. As well as the ‘normal’ brushes that simply let you paint, there are all manner of brush tips that apply paint in different ways. These brush tips are divided into categories and housed within the Brushes panel.
The ‘Sprays and Spatters’ set is especially fun. It includes brush tips with names like ‘Ink Spatter
Tilting’ and ‘Grainy Airbrush’. The ‘Texture’ set is great too, with lots of grungy brush tip effects.
