Try the 'oil pastel' and 'marker' brushes. They are not so unpredictable.

Also, what worked for me is to just get a picture somewhere from a movie or something and then try to visually copy it in Painter. (Helps to have two monitors for that trick or use hardcopy picture) In that way, you get a feeling of where the colors go and how to shade.

Try to use only bigger brushes in the beginning and don;t worry about details, they'll come later. Just take a one size brush for the whole picture and a monochrome palette (one color range) will make life easier for starters.

Good luck!
