  • Smear/Smudge Paint – Hard Task

    Posted by Dino Muhic on April 24, 2008 at 7:22 pm

    Hi,

    I got a somehow hard task:

    It’s an installation where Paint splatters over a BIG screen (many splatters with different colors).
    Then dancers in front of the screen will smudge/smear the colors with their hands towards a direction(they are just pretending to).

    I did the splatter/paint flows with Particular, worked good. But how to smudge them together?
    Using liquify and do all the hand-movements with the smudge-tool? I experienced that the smudge-tool in the liquify-filter doesnt really blur/smear the colors together, it just distorts them (like the turbulent distortion).

    Any advise on this?

    I would really appreciate it!
    Thanks

    Try making a BW copy of the layer and use CC Glass…
