Nice work! This reminds me of MyPaint version 0.1.

Just a comment on brush quality. You can clearly see banding (posterization)
on this screenshot.  This will happen on a surface with only 8 bits per
channel with some MyPaint brushes.  Usually those with very narrow spacing
(many of the "watercolor" and "smudge" style brushes).

To avoid this, you can decrease the "dabs per basic radius" setting of those
brushes a bit, or stick to brushes that don't have a high value there, or
you could hide the problem with dithering (as MyPaint 0.5 did, see
http://mypaint.intilinux.com/?p=19) or simply switch to a higher bit depth.
