try going on Google and copy and paste a brush into gimp, then save it ask a brush, then refresh your brush gallery

EDIT- his way fails.

Find a website that has a lot of brushes that you can download

like (brusheezy.com).

Click download, go to your downloaded content area (after it's done downloading) double click on the latest installed brushes..click on extract (you'll see it on the topper corner of the file you just double clicked).. and then choose a file to extract on, (click on "mycomputer"..or if you changed the name of it then just click on that.), then click on gimp 2.6 and then click on brushes and finally click extract again.

You need to close Gimp 2.6 and then re-open it for the brushes to install.

This easy tutorial feature is for Windows users only, i am not sure about Mac users.

Google chrome users:

Download>select file> double click on file> extract file> select "mycomputer" or what ever you named it>click on Gimp 2.6>click on brushes> extract file.

GIMP brushes come in all sorts of shapes, colors and sizes and can easily spice up your images with the click of a mouse. They can be downloaded free at sites like deviantart.com by simply searching "GIMP brushes".

Once you have downloaded a brush, it is necessary to move it to the folder that GIMP looks in when loading brushes. I use the drag-and-drop method by opening my downloaded folder of brushes and opening my brush directory.

Your brush directory should be under My Computer>C:\>Program Files>GIMP-2.0>Share>GIMP>2.0>Brushes

Drag your .gih, .vbr or .abr files into the Brushes folder.

Now restart GIMP and your new brushes should be loaded alongside GIMP's standard brushes.

The same goes for other GIMP components, such as patterns, scripts, gradients and more.

I hope this has helped you!

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.
