Okay first go to a site like free-brushes.com(really good site!)or deviantart.com and Look up GIMP brushes.

The when you find one you like click one of the download options(you may be taken to a place that say something about premium service just click free user and wait a few seconds)

After that click the download button.When Windows asks you what to do with it click open.Extract the files using winzip use the browse button to put it in Gimp2 folder located in Computer>Local Disk>Program Files>GIMP2.0>Share>gimp>2.0>brushes

And wait for it to download and Open up GIMP and look through the Brushes and you've got them!

Hope you have fun with your new brushes

How do i add downloaded brushes onto gimp i have tried every way but whenever i open gimp after i have added them they're not there please give me the right way of doing this?

Google gimp brushes, or look on Deviantart on Resources>Applications>Gimp Brushes. You'll find lots of them. To get them in your list, look for a button that says "Refresh Brushes". If you can't find it, restart gimp and they'll be there. Yeah that or just go to wherever you saved gimp most likely program folders. Then svae the brush. Next Open Gimp folder and open "share" then Brushes then copy the file and paste there Actually, I assumed he actually knew how to add brushes. You can do this by going into preferences, and then click on share, and there should be a "Brushes" option. Click the new folder button, and use a new folder on your desktop as a brush folder. Then download the new brushes and put in the new folder.
