10 of the best iPad apps

Brushes £4.99
Fancy yourself an artist but don’t like the idea of getting yourself covered in oil paint? There’s an app for that: Brushes lets wannabe Manets and Monets use their iPad screen like a canvas, “painting” onto it with a finger and 19 types of brush. The ability to add layers means you can work on individual portions of your masterpiece without ruining other bits. When you’re done, you can share on Flickr direct from the app. Sceptical about the quality? Check out the image above, finger-painted by Brooklyn artist David Jon Kassan using this very app.
