If I understand you correctly... Are you looking for the "fill" tool?
There is an Icon on the Tools thingy that looks like it is pouring
something. Try that? It can be set to pour patterns, textures, gradients,
etc.
Good Luck!

Yes, it's possible, but not with all brush categories and brush
variants. For those with which it is possible, here are the sets of
steps for some alternative methods:
Ctrl/Command+Shift+Z
____________________
1. Make a selection on either the Canvas or the Layer where you want the
brush strokes to appear.
2. Choose the brush variant (Painter 7 Water Color variants and Liquid
Ink variants won't work with this method, along with some others in all
Painter versions... you'll need to test them to find out).
3. Hold down the Ctrl/Command+Shift keys and click the "Z" key. The
brush strokes begin to fill the selected area.
4. Click in the image to stop the action.
Effects > Esoterica > Auto Clone
________________________________
1. Use Steps 1 and 2 above, then use Effects > Esoterica > Auto Clone.
2. Click in the image to stop the action.
Record Stroke, Save Stroke, Auto Playback
____________________________
1. Choose a brush variant.
2. In the Brushes palette's Stroke menu, choose Strokes and take a look
at the list of stroke types, especially their names, as you'll want to
give your own saved brush stroke a unique name not already used by
Painter (otherwise, if you use an existing name, you'll overwrite that
existing saved brush).
3. In the Brushes palette's Stroke menu, choose Record Stroke.
4. Paint a brush stroke. (If you don't like the stroke, use Edit > Undo,
then choose Record Stroke again and paint another brush stroke.)
5. In the Brushes palette's Stroke menu, choose Save Stroke and give
your brush stroke a unique name not already used by Painter.
6. Make sure your saved brushstroke's name is checked in the Brushes
palette's Stroke menu > Strokes flyout menu.
7. In the Brushes palette's Stroke menu, choose Auto Playback.
8. Click in the image to stop the action.
9. If you want to play back this saved stroke as individual strokes,
instead of choosing Auto Playback, choose Playback, then tap in the
image where you want the brush stroke to appear.
NOTES:
Any saved brush stroke can be used with Ctrl/Command+Shift+Z, Effects >
Esoterica > Auto Clone, Brushes palette's Stroke menu > Auto Playback or
Playback along with any of the brush categories and their variants that
work with these methods. (There are some exceptions, as mentioned above.
Again, you'll need to test brush variants to see if they will work.)
Both Water Color variants and Liquid Ink will work with Playback, though
not with Auto Playback. In otherwords, you can tap on the image to play
back a single recorded brush stroke one tap at a time.
The saved brush stroke will follow the stroke's direction and shape,
however, it will vary in appearance depending on the brush variant
chosen, and other settings chosen like brush Size, Opacity, and many
other setting adjustments.
When using Liquid Ink with Playback, especially, but with other brush
categories and their brush variants as well, some surprising things
happen when other setting adjustments are made.
Hope this helps.. have fun experimenting!
