Can TVPaint import images into it's timeline?

I have a video that I want to draw on top of.

You can also use the Open File dialog -- it will provide you with lots of options for importing footage (like start and end frames, aspect, etc)

When I do this, it just makes a completely new project. I would like a single image in the background. I do not want a new project with new dimensions.

You just use "open", choose pic, hit OK, and then select what you want: new project, or layer in existing project. Beware of size changes (stretch to project size, correct aspect).
