How to Color Multiple Stroked Paths in GIMP
GIMP is a graphic design program that allows you to create digital artwork using your computer. With the Paths Tool, you place a number of points on an image, connected with a path line between each point. You can move the points and edit the path as much as you need before you commit to drawing the line. You then stroke the path, which draws a digital vector line between all of the points. GIMP allows you to place multiple paths on an image, which you can stroke at the same time with any color you choose.
