New innovations regarding motion graphics for Synthetik Studio Artist are always welcome for easier creation of masterpiece art works that will exactly show what we have in mind, like paint dripping down the canvass or slipshod scattering of paint or the splattering patches of paint with very particular desired effects by the artist. It is a great help that Dave Nagel, have always strived to write about and develop new paint patches to attempt more and more types of motion graphics to challenge and encourage more user-artists for Sythetik Studio Artist .

Dave Nagel noted that not too long ago, he has written about techniques for creating write-on and paint-on effects for motion graphics. He further demonstrated what he wrote about by using custom brushes to reveal underlying footage, as though the paint were dripping down or splattering across the canvass. He also showed some methods of splattering paint around the canvass. On his latest paint patches – Nagel Series 12 – he have expanded the brushes he had used in the previous tutorial.

The newest collections of Studio Artist Paint Patches are 20 brushes designed to splatter and drip. These brushes are also designed to reveal source image, scatter the contents of the canvass and applies liquid strokes to the artworks being created.

Three primary categories characterize these new brushes: the blow pens, reveals and drip paints. The blow pens’ use is to scatter paint on the canvass.
