step 1

Start off by creating a new 300 dpi canvas 8 inches wide by 8 inches wide with a white background.

step 2

Put a vertical guide at 4 inches and a horizontal guide at 4 inches.

step 3

Make sure you have “Snap to Guides” turned on. To do this, go to “View” > “Snap To” and see if “Guides” is checked. If not, click on it.

step 4

Now, prepare the brush. In this tutorial, you will be using only one type of brush, which is the “splatter” brush provided in Photoshop as one of its default brushes. You will see six “splatter” brush diameters in the brushes palette, pick any one of those.

step 5

Note: Although, you will be using only one type of brush, you will be using it in varying diameters. And this is easily done by pressing the “[“ and “]” keys.

Anyway, when you’ve picked a splatter brush, set its “Flow” to 12%.
