Upstream has been contacted:

I am interested in testing this. But I heard it was Windows only.

It’s not windows only, the author himself says he builds it in ubuntu 20.08

There’s a problem the author has not released nor tagged any version in github, and Flathub has a policy to build from tagged or released versions.

There are tagged versions even though they don’t include all the latest changes. there are no releases unfortunately though. Tags · seagetch/gimp-painter · GitHub

Those tags are from GIMP itself, not from gimp-painter, if we build those tags there’ll be no gimp-painter code in them. The author needs to release or tag some version of gimp-painter.
