New to the Apple iTunes App Store is Brushes, a natural media painting application, which offers users the ability to turn their iPhone and iPod touch into a blank canvas.

Brushes offers several realistic brush styles, an advanced colour picker, a gallery view, and virtually unlimited undo and redo options.

Flick between three different brushes ranging in style from smooth to bristly and choose any brush size from 1 to 64 pixels in diameter.

Brushes offers the ability to zoom in and out your artistic endeavours by pinching, with the potential to zoom in up to 400 per cent. Drag with two fingers to pan when zoomed in.

A YouTube video showing the process is available Brushes website while users are encouraged to showcase their work on a dedicated Flickr group.

Among those showing what is capable on a small mobile canvas is Stéphane Kardos, an Art Director at Walt Disney, based in Los Angeles, California. The results are impressive.

Compatible with iPhone and iPod touch running 2.0 software update, Brushes costs £2.99 and is available from the Apple iTunes App Store.
