How to create this background?

How can I create this type of background ( not the lens all part) in photoshop?

It seems too complicated to explain here on the forum. It's usually a trial-and-error technique. Wait for someone to post a link to a tutorial if a similar one even exists.

By seeing the screenshot you are quicker to take a photo than to create it in Photoshop.

Compared to other things in Photoshop, creating the background is relatively simple. The demo below is sped up but shows you that it can be done. It’s basically a lot of duplicated ellipse shape layers with different fill colors. Mostly, you need to know about:

• Drawing shapes with the Ellipse tool set to Shape mode. 
• Grouping layers. 
• Duplicating layers and layer groups. 
• Resizing layers. 
• Changing the fill color of shape layers. 
• Changing the stacking order of layers. 
• Drawing a circular mask with the Ellipse tool set to Path mode.
• Applying a circular path as a vector mask to a parent group to mask the inner circles. 

When you’re done, if you want to make it look more like a painting as in the example that was posted, you can roughen the result using Photoshop filters.

Thank you so much!   I did work out a solution but this way would have been so much easier!  I will have to try it this way.  I appreciate the time you took working on it on my behalf!

What was your solution?

Similar to yours but I used a radial stroke on the circles and did lots of masking.   Not quite as elegant as yours😂

This was perfect!  Thank you again!
