GIMP Version: 2.8.2
Operating System: Windows
OS Version: 7
GIMP Experience: Beginner Level


I selected a gradient on my brush and can not figure out how to turn gradients off and go back to a regular solid color brush.

Help! I couldn't find an answer to this. So stuck and have searched for over an hour.
Thank you!

I went to dynamics and choose "dynamics off" but it still shows the gradient on

EDIT: What I posted is wrong. I will leave it (within spoiler tags) but recommend it be ignored.

SHOW SPOILER
The default Tool Preset for the Airbrush Tool employs the gradient option. In order to change that default, you need to create a new Tool Preset for the Airbrush Tool.

In the window you have shown in your screenshot, click on the 'floppy disk' icon in the lower left corner and select "New Tool Preset...". In the editor that appears, uncheck the box marked "Apply stored gradient". You might want to name your new preset something memorable (for example, "Airbrushwithout gradient").
