Default Brushes Entirely Different Between Designer v1 and v2

[NaterXander]

I've been working on a children's book from before the release of the v2 products. I've gone back to work on them some more with the v2 Designer and the brushes I use that come stock with the app are completely different between the two versions. Why is this? And how do I import the original version of them into the v2 Designer? I've attached what each of them look like between the two versions.

Where are those Impressionist Oils?

These are from pre-1.8 it seems like but might be helpful for your use-case. It is from the official blog... I know I had seen it someplace.

It does seem like the Oils brush category in Designer 2 (Pixel Persona) is very different from what we had in 1.10. I haven't looked at the other categories, but in some ways it makes sense that they brushes would be different, as (based on the Affinity Store Tech Specs) I think there has been some major rework in their design.

If it's still relevant to @NaterXander, here are the Oils from 1.10. I have not tried them enough in 2.0 to know how they'll work, and whether they'll match the behavior from 1.10:

You should be able to import these into Designer using the panel options (3-bar icon, aka burger menu) in the Brushes panel in the Designer Pixel Persona. Or perhaps by right-clicking in File Explorer or Finder and choosing to "Open With" Designer 2.
