Is there a way to make a "multi-layer brush" or something like that?

But each time I paint it, I'll also need to later separate the trunk, leaves and shadow each into a different layer.

Is there anyway to make a brush that automatically paint into three different layers, a different part of the brush into each of these layers?

What I can imagine is an approximation if the clipart is simple, with flat colors and/or with the parts separated from each other.

In this case, it is possible to separate both the colors and the component parts of the image that have an alpha channel.
       
For more complex clipart, perhaps some other approach is possible.
