Any equivalent to MS Paint in Mac?

Hello to all,

I come from a windows background and am very familiar with the simple 'paint' application; I am searching for an equivalent app for my Mac. I have downloaded [free] 'paintbrush for Mac' from the internet but find that it does not have the tools which MS Paint has, and more importantly, I can work only with 2 colors...white an black. Can anyone point out to me any free download that allows me to work in color too?

FYI I do have Adobe photoshop but feel uncomfortable in trying to learn it! A personal 'irrational' dislike!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4), garage band, FCPX:10.0.5 version

Hello oracleoflight! Thanks for adding your post! Would like to know whether this is a free download or free download with some strings attached?

Regards and have a great day!

Hello anni. Thanks for your post. You have not just given me an equivalent to MS Paint but you have given me MS Paint itself! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

You could try our app Patina (available in the Mac App Store).
