The Paint.Color() method just returns a PaintBrush object and does not modify the Paint state. You want to set the Brush property with the return value from Paint.Color(): Paint.Brush = Paint.Color(Color.Black) Alternatively, if you just want a solid color, you can use Paint.Background = Color.Black > Paint.MoveTo(x1, y1) > Paint.LineTo(x2, y2) > Paint.Fill() Use Paint.Stroke() for (one-dimensional) lines, even if they are thick. Then LineWidth should work, just set it to 10 for 10 units. Paint.Fill() is for the two-dimensional area inside[*] your paint path, which was empty in your case.
