Painting needs paint brushes and Blender provides a Brush panel within the Toolbar
when in *Weight Paint Mode*.

Brush
   In the :ref:`Data-Block menu <ui-data-block>` you find predefined Brush presets.
   And you can create your own custom presets as needed.

Radius :kbd:`F`
   The radius defines the area of influence of the brush.

   :bl-icon:`stylus_pressure` (Size Pressure)
      Adjusts the radius based on the stylus pressure when using a :ref:`Graphics Tablet <hardware-tablet>`.

Strength
   This is the amount of paint to be applied per brush stroke.

   :bl-icon:`stylus_pressure` (Strength Pressure)
      Adjusts the strength based on the stylus pressure when using a :ref:`Graphics Tablet <hardware-tablet>`.

Use Falloff
   When enabled, use Strength falloff for the brush.
   Brush Strength decays with the distance from the center of the brush.
Weight :kbd:`Ctrl-F`
   The weight (visualized as a color) to be used by the brush.

   Using :kbd:`Ctrl-RMB` you can set the weight to the value that's under the cursor.
Direction :kbd:`D`
   Brush direction toggle, *Add* adds weight value while *Subtract* removes weight value.
   This setting can be toggled with :kbd:`D`.
