Particle brushes
Particle brushes are physics-inspired brushes that give a unique look and feel to your artwork. They emit
particles from a central point, and in turn the particles draw a pattern of lines (paths) as they move across
the canvas.
You can control the particle paths with precision or introduce randomness in the brushstroke movement by
using the Particle brush controls. Particle brushes are capable of wide-ranging creative variation when you
adjust the parameters of each brush variant.
In addition, you can streamline your workflow by choosing the New Brushes workspace layout, which
displays the palettes of the Particle brushes.
Depending on the movement of the particles around the central point, there are three types of Particle
brushes: Gravity, Flow, and Spring brushes. A dark background is ideal for most of these brushes.
You can also display Info palettes, which contain information about the brush controls for each type.
