Yes. Can we teach it to you? Sure.
Given, like, a couple hours of patient study.
(That’d be "No", but a polite no …)

You are not looking for one brush for grass, but several – unless PS CS lets you use multicolored brushes now? I am still using v6. Plus, when you say "realistic grass", well, what sort of grass? What sort of leaves? Any? Well, sure.

If it was me:
I would go outside, take a picture of some grass and be done with it. If I couldn’t do that, there’s Illy. If I couldn’t do either one, and for some reason the internet shuts down, I guess it could be done with PS.

Google’s more helpful on this topic. I looked it up:
Results 1 – 10 of about 4,520 for realistic grass using photoshop. (0.34 seconds …

Are your fingers broke? This seemed to work pretty well for me (the searching, not the breaking of fingers …).

Doormouse, why do you have to be sooooo sacastic all the time?

Do you think it makes you look knowledgeable ? It dosn’t.

It makes you sound like a sad single-dimensional bitch.

Do you really find it so hard to be pleasant to people?
Do you need a holiday? An enema?
What is it with you?
I’m sure you could be a really nice person if you tried really hard! Please?
Pretty please?

I have a huge brush set I purchased for repairing photos, I "googled it" to death before posting, none give tips on real color and blending to make leaves look real ("or grass"). I’m SURE some people in this group really care to help others. I know not everyone wastes time posting smart*** comments.

Purchased? 🙂

Except for some art brushes, you would be better off learning how to make a custom brush.

It is strange that you should say that. I got 4,000 hits with the words that I used (and listed for you). I followed up on two links and saw a great tutorial for photorealistic grass on the second hit.

Dude, everyone who searches Google with these words "realistic grass using photoshop" will find the tutorial that I found. Apparently, everyone except you.

I am omitting the link so that you will spend twenty seconds of your precious time to do the same search that I did so casually.

none give tips on real color and blending
to make leaves look real ("or grass").

The second link. Go. Stop being an ignorant pest.

With grasses colour is the key, the default grass brush is a good place to start, make a few similar but very slightly different maybe one or two long thin brushes.

Sample a photograph to build your colour swaches and vary the brush size acording to your image perspective. Like most things in ps practice is the answer. It also helps if your using a pen, like a wacom tablet. Dont forget shadows from trees or clouds fences etc, its that last 10% that makes the whole thing believable

Look outside. Do you see grass? What does grass look like? It’s more of a texture and colors than anything.
