They're present in Photo and in the Pixel Persona of Designer on my system.

I think you need to own the iPad version before you get them, but then they'll be downloaded to the Windows version, too, if you have My Account configured for automatic download.

I'm using the iPad version through Family Sharing - does that make a difference?

I wasn't logged in on my Windows version. Do you need to log in every time there's an update?

Anyway I noticed there were some add-ons there which might include these brushes. Where does it download those too? I don't want to be downloading multiple versions of the same thing and using up disk space.

Yes, you need to be logged-in to My Account to get new items that have been added to your account. I just stay logged-in all the time.

Those brushes come as Add-ons with their name, thus Artista Brushes, etc. No other Add-ons have them, that I know of.

Each application downloads its own copy, and on Windows they go into the usual place that all Brushes, or all Assets, etc. for that application go.

This wasn't my question. I assumed I would stay logged in every time I used this software when I registered it when I bought it. My question was if it was necessary to log in after new updates.

I'm asking because it seems like I've had to download these multiple times in the course of using Affinity software - so if it is inviting me to download these again can I assume it's because the previous copy is no longer there? 

Sometimes things like these need attention because over time PC's can get clogged up with obsolete data.

In general, no. If I'm logged-in before an update I'm logged-in after it.

It's no longer there, or you never downloaded it via My Account in that application before.
