 Art of the day:~
 

       My Paint-Erase-Smudge combo:
     1) Paint at 100% opacity and flow at the general area.
     2)Use eraser at 50% op, 100% fl to blur the edges. Multiple times if necessary.
     3) Smudge (30-50% strength) to further blur the edge and to add effect.

      For the grass and leaves, use step 1 and 2. Then smudge randomly at 30%, flicking the mouse. After that, choose a smaller brush radius but at 50% strength to create the blades of grass. Creating multiple layers of grass would make it better but I was too lazy, I just made 1 for the base (light green) colour and 1 for the darker green.
      Generally, I found out that the smudge tool is probably the best friend for non-tablet users. Smudging differently can already give you different results like the grass, dirt and clouds.
