i'm only 13 hours into the game and dont have many brush skills yet but there's only the slash that requires a straight line and you just hold the z button for that.
There's one skill i've just obtained where you draw a line from a flower to yourself to get zipped accross to that location as the line comes like a bungee rope - I just cant imagine doing that with a controller cos it's so fast with the Wiimote. The result is zelda like levels where you climb from ground up to a very high fixed point in a series of bungees (gonna call it that) is very fast and very little effort.
