Photoshop Elements 11 Default brushes

Question

On the "Learn Photoshop Elements Today! A DVD Training Course for Elements 11" many of the tutorials show in the default brushes a brush stroke that tapers to a point at the beginning and ending of the brush stroke.  I cannot find or create this brush type.  Where do I find it?

This is what Jan Walker said last year in one of the forums that I don't remember:
Photoshop Elements—Windows: How to Install Brushes
            Here's the installation path for adding Brushes (.abr files) to Photoshop Elements, all versions
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements (your version)\Presets\Brushes
However, we recommend not installing them at all. Lots of us keep our brush files in a file on our computer and simply load the brushes as we need to use them. Loading brushes this way instead of installing them keeps Photoshop Elements from being over-burdened with too much stuff to load when you open it, thus slowing it down.
To load your brushes as need them, simply open the Brush Picker, click on the right facing triangle at the top to open a flyout menu, and choose Load Brushes. When the dialog box comes up, navigate to the brushes folder on your hard drive and double click on the brush set you want to load. The brush set will load and will stay there until you change brushes.
Using the Preset Manager
If you want the new brush set to show up without the default brushes disappearing, you can load them from the Preset Manager.
•     Choose Edit > Preset Manager.
•     Click on Append.
•     Navigate to the brush set you want to load and double click on it.
•     You can add other brushes if you wish by clicking Add.
•     When you're finished, click Done.
•     Open the Brush Picker and scroll to the bottom below the default brushes to see the new brushes you loaded.
Good luck.
