This is typical of what a beginner goes through, it can be a drag, but you just have to stick with and through time you'll get better. As a beginner build up your foundation in positional escapes, guard passes, and positional control because without these you're not submitting anyone. You have to drill, drill and drill these to get consistently better at them too.
Also, no one should be able to submit you with a paintbrush submission in your guard you should either have his back, sweep or armbar him.
If you don't your options concerning this ask your instructor and he'll show you. Also, whenever someone beats you should go through how they did what and why that way you're not just getting beat, but always learning as well.
