The only idea I can come with is to use a animated brush (image pipe) 
having lots of brushes from 1 pixel to the maximum size you want. Then, 
stroking using the paintbrush tool would be close to what you want.

The parametric brushes could be a nice tool for that too, if I could 
find any documentation on how to generate them ;)

Best regards,

Olivier
