Question
I work in corel draw to create screen printed designs and I am having trouble creating a "splattered paint" effect. I've found lots of patterns, but I'm really trying to get that "took a paint brush and flung it on to a wall" look.
Any thoughts would be appreciated,
Chris

Answer
Chris,

Hmmm, this is not easy.  There are a number of plugins that
can do this sort of thing for Photopaint, but I don't know
of any for Draw.

It seems to me that one good way to do this would be to draw
some nice paint splatters, and from them create a Spraylist.
The CorelDraw help has information on how to create a Spraylist
(note: spraylists for Paint and Draw are DIFFERENT).
Drawing the individual splats might be easy with Preset strokes.

Another approach would be to create a splattered paint image
in PhotoPaint, and then import into CorelDraw as an object.

Sorry, that's all I can think of right now.
