Weekly Download: Studio Artist Paint Patches, Series 6
15 splatter and displacement effects
by David Nagel

Synthetik Studio Artist 2.0 has the capability to generate a wide range of paint effects with its built-in paint synthesizer, including brushes that not only apply paint and texture to the canvas, but that also flow like liquids, spreading out and blending and displacing the paint that's already on the canvas. This week we offer variations on this liquid brush feature in the form of 15 Paint Patch presets designed to smear, blend and and otherwise distort your image.

Our collection this week includes 15 individual Paint Patches. These include a couple of simple splatter brushes (variations on the "Liquids SPattering" presets included with the program); vortex brushes, which pull the paint toward the center of the cursor; displacement brushes; and a variety of other brushes that displace, splatter and modify the paint color.[an error occurred while processing this directive]Here's a sampling of three of the brushes in this collection. Your results will depend heavily on the canvas image you're modifying, as well as the paint color you're working with.


NS6-Inverted 1


NS6-Splatter 1


NS6-Splatter Displace

All of these Paint Patches are designed to be applied interactively and can adjusted using various input parameters, such as pen pressure and tilt. Of course, using Studio Artist's Paint Synthesizer, you can also go in and edit these to suit your needs more specifically.
