It seems like this might be about animation ultimately, rotoscoping possibly. 

If so Photoshop may simply not be a great fit for the task and Animate, After Effects, maybe even Illustrator, … might be worth checking out for the task. 

Convert your layer to smart object and copy it several times. Each copy of the Smart Object will contain any changes you make while editing any of these layers. 

In short, no it is not possible to paint on multiple layers at the same time. If you tell us final goal perhaps we can give you idea for workaround.

Hi this is not possible as told Miss @barbara_a7746676 actually this because, so we can control everything if you want to send this client at the end you can merge layers it will become one...regards

As long as the layer with the paint brush in on top of the other layers and as long as the area outside the painted area is transparent, it will appear to apply to all layers even though it is only on one layer.

If you absolutely need the paint on each layer, you can duplicate the paint layer as many times as necessary, and combine the paint layer with each of the other layers individually.

I don't know of any way to actually paint on multiple layers at the same time.
