Sidebar ‣ Tools ‣ Brushes

For painting/sculpting modes each brush type is exposed as a tool in the toolbar. The brush on the other hand is a saved preset of all the brush settings, including a name and thumbnail.

All these settings can be found and changed here in the tool setting (brush, texture, stroke, falloff & cursor).
