This plugin allows the artist to create paintings in an app using opacity and width settings cross platform. On iOS, an Airbrush as well as a Paintbrush is available. With the Airbrush, you can control Airbrush Flow to make the paint effect change. This plugin would be useful to folks who need a more art-friendly type plugin. Use with the Color Picker plugin to enable color changes.
