You will, of course, not magically become a talented artists when you install these brushes. They will simply make it easier to unlock the artist within you. You will have to learn to use and take advantage of these new brushes in order to get anything out of them. SenlinOS has setup a YouTube channel with four video tutorials. The five to ten minute long videos can help you get started with these GIMP brushes and give you some tips on drawing with GIMP in general. There is a thread about SLOS-GIMPainter on the gimp-forum where you can ask for help. The project page is at github.com/SenlinOS/SLOS-GIMPainter.
