Another idea that comes to mind is using the Dual Brush in the brush settings dialog box.  Press the b key on your keyboard for the brush tool, and then click on Window>Brush to access the brush panel.  In the list of the dialog box, click on the Dual Brush setting and choose which of your brushes you want to use.  Now this method only allows for two different brushes to be used at once, but since you're new to Photoshop it's best that you start off slow so you learn how the tools work.  Also, be sure to adjust the Size, Scatter, Spacing, and Count sliders until you're happy with your results.  Like I said, baby steps here.
