Why isn’t my paintbrush working in GIMP?

There could be a few different reasons why your paintbrush isn’t working in GIMP. First, try to check if your brush settings are correct – make sure the Size, Opacity, Hardness, Rate, and Spacing are all set to the proper settings for your painting task.

Second, make sure that your brush is not accidentally set to the “Pencil” mode instead of “Brush” mode. For this, ensure that the Pencil/Brush Mode selector is set to Brush. Third, verify that the painting mode is set to the desired one.

This setting can be found in the mode list just above the pattern selector. Finally, if none of these solutions work, try reinstalling GIMP in case the program got corrupted somehow. Additionally, if none of these solutions helped, it might be an issue with the graphics tablet you are using, the drivers or settings of your system, or conflicts with other active programs or settings.

If all else fails, it could be an issue with the version of GIMP you are using and you will need to update to the latest version.
