Another option is to make the surface live and draw curves on it and then attach the paint effects to the curves but that not the most intuitive solution although it would work.

You also need to do the UV's on a poly object for Fur to cover correctly so no time save there.It is possible to get away with just automapping the UV's with fur but you might get some weird results if it a complex model but a deformed plane for grass should be quick and easy to map.couldnt you just create fur on your plane and color it green to simulate grass?
