Apply brush strokes

You can apply brush strokes to a path created with any drawing tool, including the Pen tool, Pencil tool, or basic shape tools.

Do one of the following:

Select the path, and then select a brush in a brush library, the Brushes panel, or the Control panel.
Drag a brush onto the path. If the path already has brush strokes applied to it, then the new brush replaces the old brush.

If you want to apply a different brush to the path and want to use the brush stroke settings used with the original brush, hold down Alt (Win) or Option (Mac OS) when clicking the new brush you want to apply.
