C - Use any of the Main toolbar icons e.g. Pen, Quick Curve, Rectangular Shape, Oval Shape to draw paths on the canvas.

The path is drawn on the canvas and a new layer Shape1 is created. .
- In the Layers palette, click the Canvas layer.
The Canvas layer is activated.

The Brush property bar appear.
- Toggle on the Align-to-Path as shown in the red circle above. And choose a Brush Variant e.g. Pastels' Soft Pastel. Choose a Main Color e.g. yellow.

The brush stroke follows the shape path.
