A set of Photoshop & GIMP brushes composed of various paint splats and splatters. This set is made out of photos taken from real paint that was splattered around on a canvas. Fun to make! These are all fairly high resolution, and come with single splats, as well as huge spatterings, some long stringy splats, and sets of a few splatters put together.

Random Brush Tip:
To scatter a brush shape about randomly in different sizes and at different angles, click on your brush tool. Select which brush you want to scatter.
Click on the brushes tab up on the upper right corner of your Photoshop window (or hit F5).
Click on Shape Dynamics. Set your Size Jitter slider at about 50-75%.
If you don’t want your brush size to get smaller than a certain size, set your Minimum Diameter slider to whatever percentage you think fits.
To change the angle of the brush, set the Angle Jitter slider low or high depending on how much you want the brush to tilt to one side or the other.
Make sure everything else is at 0% or Off.
Click on Scattering, and then set the Scatter slider as low or high as you’d like. You can see how much it’s scattering in the thumbnail below.
Click on Brush Tip Shape. Move the Spacing slider to the right until the brush is spaced how you’d like. Make sure the rest is at 0% or Off.
That’s it! Now paint with your brush.

thanks for sharing.
Oh my gosh thank you so much for creating this. I happen to create a lot of desktop backgrounds for my friends and I, and these brushes will help a TON. I credit you at the bottom corner of the backgrounds, I hope that’s satisfactory.

Thanks these are Cool .
These are really fun. Thanks!
I love your brushes! (These would be cool as blood too :P )
Thankyou!
can someone teach me how to change the colors of the brushes? like the fairies?
@georgette: The colors that the brush shows up in depends on what color is selected in your color palette. But, if you mean that you want to have the brush “stamp” show up in more than one color, there’s a way to do that, too. Check my tutorials, and look for “Multiple Colors with Brushes” tutorial.
