 Please search the forum for older post with topic “brush not working”.

you need to check all brush parameters like:

  • brush color 
  • color opacity
  • layer opacity
  • wet edges
  • which brush you are using. Select a fresh basic round brush to start with
  • blend mode of brush
  • are you using the brush tool or by accident color replacement brush tool or undo brush tool?
  • channels panel, all channels active?
  • try solo mode to see what is happening more directly
  • Add a new pixel layer to check if the brush is working there

and some more to check if the steps above do not help.

Most important: deselect all. And active selection is the top reason.

Hi @imit,

Welcome to the Affinity Forums & sorry to hear you're having trouble!

As mentioned above, there are many settings that can cause this - if you have checked the above and are still having issues, can you please provide a screenshot of the full Affinity app, with the Paint Brush Tool selected and the Layers Studio visible?

Many thanks in advance :)
