There are two type of graphics: bit maps and vector graphics. Paint is a bitmap graphics package.
Some undergraduates in a college senior design project mentored by Microsoft started developing a long overdue replacement. It was released independently on "Paint.net". It has bundles of features and a wide range of free add-ins with active forum help.
This product is not strictly free ware as the developers will accept donations. As a programmer and a user, if you make some money out of their efforts, why not donate a percentage?
In addition there is GIMP which is a free ware product. It is very comprehensive if not a little daunting at first. Download the installer here. When you try to down load it your antivirus software may give a warning about the download site. Whist the warning is (possibly) to a degree true, it does not apply to this particular software. The site that you download this software from is home to many, many application downloads.
For a (not so) basic vector graphics package Serif Draw Plus SE is a very respectable package. There is a very low cost paid for edition as well.
