The brush tool has all the same blend modes as layers, but the brush tool includes two additional blend modes.  “Behind” and “Clear.”

The “Behind” blend mode will apply paint only on transparent pixels in a layer. The “Clear” blend mode turns the pixels you paint on transparent, much like the Eraser tool.
