My wife bought me an iPad and I have been playing with an application called ‘Brushes’. It's great fun painting with your finger.

If you make mistakes you can easily rectify them by undoing what you did with a touch on the undo symbol. You can actually undo back to the first stroke. Once the painting is complete it replays a video of the whole process which you can upload to the web to Flickr, Facebook, and YouTube, to name a few.

You can apply large areas of colour at great speed and layer to your hearts content. The application also understands what happens when you apply colour on top of another and gives the mixed colour so you need to understand colour mixing. However, if you don’t want to mix the colours together, you just add another layer and work on that (but you only have up to 6 which are about right),

For real detail, you can magnify up to 3200% so that when you zoom out, the level of detail is awesome. There are many stylus pens out there but with the level of magnification, your little digit does the job just fine.

One other main advantage is that you can choose what brush you would like to paint with and there’s many to choose from. For example, YouTube has artists that apply colour using a brush that imitates oil paint which is pretty amazing.
