Rooftops/Trees/Fence. Map building.
#2
Roof:
Use your roof brush to create a pattern.
1. Create a new image to the size you require
2. Use roof brush to make a single stamp
3. Image > Crop to Content
4. Edit > Copy or Ctrl-C
In the patterns dialogue you will now have Clipboard Pattern (the very first one - top left).
5.Select the Bucket Fill tool, set to Pattern and select the clipboard pattern.
Area is filled with roof pattern (use a selection to limit extent if required).
Note: You can Export this as a png and put it in the patterns folder of your user profile to make it permanent.

Forest:
Don't put all your trees on one layer. Have 3 (or more) layers eg Forest Back, Forest Middle, Forest Front.
Select the appropriate layer

Fence:
Create a new brush dynamic for your fence brush
1. Select the Paint Brush, then click on Dynamics
2. Click "Open the dynamics selection dialogue" (see attached image)
3. At the bottom of the dialogue, click on "Create a new dynamics"
4. At the top, give a name. eg change the default "Untitled" to "Direction"
5. In the mapping matrix check opposite the Angle row and Direction column (see image)
Use this dynamic for your fence.
Note1: It may be necessary to rotate your fence brush say 90 deg
Note2: Works best stroking a path rather than painting free hand
