"It doesn't work" is vague. Several possible reasons:


- Your layer is not the active layer and your painting elsewhere 
(channel or invisible layer)

- You are trying to paint outside the boundaries of the active layer

- There is a selection and you are trying to paint outside of it

- The "mode" of the paint tool is not "normal"


Otherwise, more information would be useful, in particular do you get a 
"forbidden" sign on the pointer?
