Here
choose any brush you like and switch to straight line mode (you can switch using the v key)

from the painter help file you can read that:
To draw straight lines

1 On the Brush property bar, click the Straight Line Strokes button .

2 Click a point on the canvas where you want to start your line.

3 Do one of the following:
• Click the point where you want to end the line.
• Drag to place the end point exactly where you want it.
Corel Painter connects the first and second points with a straight line.

4 To continue drawing from the second point, click or drag to create additional points on the canvas.
Corel Painter connects each point with a straight line.

5 To end a line, do one of the following:
• Press Return (Mac OS) or Enter (Windows) to close the polygon. The final point is connected to the origin with a straight line.
• Click the Freehand Strokes button to return to the freehand drawing style without closing the polygon.
• Press V to end the current polygon without closing it, so that you can begin a new one.
about perspective grid Painter has a perspective grids option in canvas menu but it isn't really advanced -> only one vanishing point per grid. Anyway you can use it as guide to create your grid using straight lines. I don't know about a better way to do that
