Yes. On the tool bar (below the histogram) the rightmost icon is the brush tool. The icon looks like a sideways lollipop. However, it may not work as you might think. When you brush you are painting a mask. check the "Show selected mask overlay" box under the image or (press the letter "o" on the keyboard to show the mask - it shows up in pink but the color can be changed. The changes that get applied the the area you pain is determined by the sliders in a panel on the right side that appears when you select the brush tool. This panel looks VERY MUCH like the basic panel and shows up right where the Basic Panel had been so it's easy to not realize that it is a different panel. Anyway, you can set these sliders either before or after you paint your mask and can come back later and change them if desired.

The radial and gradient tools work the same way. The difference is that the initial mask is either based on an oval or a line across the entire image. In these tools once you create your radial or gradient mask you also have a brush tool inside the radial or gradient tool which can be used to add or remove areas from the radial or gradient mask.
