Affinity Photo - Paint Brush Stroke Along a Circle's Circumference

[DelN]

Hi, 

This is a two-part question really...

1. Does anyone know if you can make a brush stroke that is a straight line?

2. Also, is it possible to make a brush stroke follow a shape's outline (eg. a circle so that you paint along the circle's circumference) or along a path ?

Thanks.

Click at the start point with the brush, then Shift+Click at the end point.

In Photo, no. (Except manually, by following the circumference or path with the Paint Brush Tool.)

In Designer or Publisher, using the Designer Persona, yes. It requires use of Affinity's vector brushes, and you can assign a Stroke in the Stroke panel that uses a "textured line style":
