Gimp have a preview window that appears when you zoom the image? I know MSPaint have.
With this you see what your small brush do in the real size image when you are in a zoom of 2x or 4x

Quoting Lap1994 :

You would accomplish this by creating a "New View" (use the "View->New view" command in the menus). With two views of the same image, one can be displayed at 100% zoom while you work on the other which might be zoomed in.

There is also the "navigation" window under the dialogs menu, which will give you a small window that has a "zoom square" that shows the level of magnification you are using. You can also drag this window around on the larger image and it will change the view in the main canvas window. I have used both this and the new view window mentioned by saulgoode to work on zoomed in areas. Very handy.
