Step 1: Opening Photoshop

If you haven't already, open Adobe Photoshop on your computer. Once it's open, create a new document or open an existing one that you want to work on.

Step 2: Selecting the Brush Tool

To access the splatter brush, we first need to select the Brush Tool. You can find it in the toolbar on the left side of your screen. It looks like a paintbrush icon.

Step 3: Opening Brush Presets

With the Brush Tool selected, look at the top menu and click on "Window". From there, hover over "Brush Presets" and click on it to open the Brush Presets panel.

Step 4: Locating Splatter Brushes

In the Brush Presets panel, there are various categories of brushes available for selection. Scroll down until you find a category named "Splatter Brushes". Click on it to expand and reveal its contents.

TIP:

If you don't see a "Splatter Brushes" category, don't worry! It means that no splatter brushes are currently loaded in your Photoshop installation. In this case, you can easily find and download splatter brush sets online. There are many free resources available.

If you want to see how a particular splatter brush looks before selecting it, hover your cursor over the brush thumbnail. Photoshop will display a preview of the brush stroke using your current settings.

Step 6: Adjusting Brush Settings (Optional)

If desired, you can further customize the splatter brush by adjusting its settings. To do this, click on the small arrow next to the selected brush thumbnail in the Brush Presets panel. This will expand the brush settings options.

• Size: Adjusts the size of the brush tip.
• Hardness: Determines how sharp or soft the edges of the brush stroke are.
• Opacity: Controls the transparency of the brush stroke.
• Flow: Defines how much paint is applied with each stroke.
