Draw a Heart in Windows 7 Paint

By Jacci Howard Bear, About.com Guide

Select the Fill (bucket) tool and choose a color you like. Click in the middle of your heart to fill it with color.

If you prefer, you could use one of the Brushes such as Oil, Marker, or Crayon to carefully color in your heart. It will give a whole different look. But be careful. Unlike more sophisticated paint programs, Windows Paint doesn't have masking so you can't protect your heart outline while painting in the middle. You'll need to paint carefully to keep from painting over your outline.
