Brush Settings

Painting needs paint brushes and Blender provides a Brush panel within the Toolbar when in Vertex Paint Mode.

Brush

In the Data-Block menu you find predefined Brush presets. And you can create your own custom presets as needed.

Radius

This option controls the radius of the brush, measured in pixels. F allows you to change the brush size interactively by dragging the mouse and then LMB (the texture of the brush should be visible inside the circle). Typing a number then enter while using F allows you to enter the size numerically.
