lol well im not sure what all that means i know f5 brings up brush panel and I understand how to use some of the things in there, but not sure if thats all relavent to the topic hand I did figure out somethings when working with abstract brushes but then there brushes I found like the ones in the pictures.

Now  brushes in my sample image above I see many uses for but its pretty much mono-toned so a brush thats complex like that how would I be able to add colors to diffrent parts of the image the brush makes. Would that be a matter of just making one layer one color then make another layer of another color I want to use. then continue until I get all colors I want then slowly erase parts I dont want on each layer?

Sorry if this all seems noobish lol but im really trying to find out to what extent I can use brushes in my projects.
