Jan 30, 2017 is the closest as far as built-in apps go. It does many things that Paint doesn't, and the MS Paint app does many things that Preview can't, but there's a lot of overlap.

Many of us have happy memories of playing with humble old Paint on the school computers, for instance, and there isn't an obvious equivalent of this on the Mac - most of macOS's art applications.

I recently made it easier to grab handles for resizing things. With that, combined with multitouch panning, JS Paint is much more useable on a phone.
Caveat: It's slow on some devices, and parts of the interface are still too small for touch.
