in paint is a little tricky and may require few trials, also does not turn out a smooth!. use line tool draw from point to point, drag left, then drag right, or make new line, then use spray can with other color

in gimp you could draw the line with pen tool convert to path on new layer with line thickness options, blur edges, and apply layer to background image,
