Hi Madeleine,

some cool effects with gradients are painting with gradients and
recoloring an image with a gradient.
You find more information on that on [1].
The 'Paint with a gradient' feature is reworked now. It worked like
described in the help until GIMP 2.6, but was then missing in GIMP
2.8.0 to 2.8.4. Lately I brought it back using a specific
Dynamic to be compliant with the new Paint tool options. It will be
available in the next GIMP version or - if you want it earlier -
you can get if from GIMPs git repository (branches gimp-2-8 and master)
[2] or in the nightly builds [3].

Kind regards,

Sven
