For this example I shall be painting with non-continuous mode and with opacity mode switched off, so I press F7 to display the settings toolbar and then adjust as follows:

I then right click on the continuous mode icon to set the brush spacing:

Now I can select a brush and colour of my choice and paint on the canvas with equal spaces between each of the brush marks on the canvas:

Brush spacing also works well for pasting so I created this by dragging and pasting a piece of clip art:

The clip art I used was this:

While you have 2 instances of mtPaint running, there is another trick you can try. If you change the hue of the blue orb (press the "Insert" key to display the transform image dialog) you can change the orb's colour:

By using the multiple image clipboard you can then easily switch between colours for pasting with say Shift+F7, Shift+F8 and Shift+F9:

Another trick to try is where you set opacity to 40 and then brush spacing to 1 which creates these effects:

Far easier is to load the clip art image with "Undoable" toggle set, copy it to clipboard, and then just undo the load operation to return to the original image.
