It's helpful to chose points as page units when creating brushes which include bitmaps. Then check the height of the bitmap you chose, (or the size of the bigger one if you select a group) and before creating brush, type this size in the status bar.
If you will resize a bitmap brush, select it in the (new) brush stroke gallery, hold down right mouse button, select "copy brush graphics to the clipboard", paste it into your page, resize its height at the size you will for your brush width and then only save it to a new brush.
After that, modify settings to your taste.
