In this tutorial we make a very simple Paint application.
Possible extensions:
1. Different brush shapes: line, circle, polygon, etc.
2. Open a "jpg" or "png" file to modify
3. Implement open/save using a background thread
4. Add undo / redo
5. Add save dialog

Hints:
1. Explore GraphicsContext methods - https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/canvas/GraphicsContext.html
2. FileChooser is your friend - https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/stage/FileChooser.html
3. A good read - https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/interoperability-tutorial/concurrency.htm
