Inkscape is an Open Source "Free graphics vector Editor" - that you can download and use under Windows, Linux and OS X.
It doesn't work like Photoshop or Gimp - but more like Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X ; which mean you will deal with vectors instead of pixels.
The huge benefits of vector is that compared to pixels, when you zoom into the picture, it stays crisp - you won't get large square or stairs.
You draw shape, square, triangle, stars, and color them, use gradient, you can mimic 3D ... but when it comes to textures, and photo effect, usually people start to look at Photoshop (or Gimp) - while in fact Inkscape is perfectly capable of doing it too - have a look at the scenery below.
It's in fact very basic shape for the sky, 3 layers for the grass and the tree - where some filters were applied.
