Yesterday I showed you some layouts with the new airbrushing trend (go here to see the article). Designers are actually selling paint splatter clusters. I think it's ridiculous to buy them because they are so easy to do yourself. Especially digitally. And I'll let you in on a secret: you can find thousands of FREE airbrush and paint splatter Photoshop brushes online. For today's tutorial, you will need to go to http://chriswahlartbrushes.blogspot.com/ and download his free brushes. There will be four parts to this tutorial (I will cover the bold ones in this post):
cutting text out of splatter
