If you are not reasonably good at C++ I would stick to writing console programs for a while, graphics adds a lot of complexity and different types of errors. IF you feel you are ready, try something like SDL.

Lazy Foo's SDL tutorials might do the trick for you. If not, Google probably has something that will.
