How do I create this effect in photoshop?

[harshadamarne]

Can anyone tell me how to create the above image? I have tried the mixer brush tool and even gradients...created my own brush as well. However I am unable to get the exact effect ...please help!

I suppose such an image could be created by plain painting and a couple of Layers (with Layer Masks possibly), so what exactly are you trying to do?

Thanks!...This was really helpful!

You’re welcome.

If you need to have several Layers of the same Color and you may need to change that Color later on you could create a Smart Object and Clipping Mask that to all the affected (Solid Color) Layers.

That way you could change the Color in the SO and all the instances would update on saving it; admittedly not very convenient but still …

As for the slight noise I added a Pattern Layer (based on 50% gray with Filter > Noise > Add Noise applied) set to Blend Mode Linear Light.
