2. Press D to reset your colour palette.

3. Apply Filter > Render > Difference Clouds until you get something nice. After the first time, just press Ctrl + F to reapply it. I did it 10 times and ended up with this.



4. Use Filter > Blur > Radial Blur with Amount: 35; Blur Method: Zoom; Quality: Good.



5. Now apply Filter > Brush Strokes > Sprayed Strokes. I set Stroke Length to 10; Spray Radius to 20; and Direction to Right Diagonal. Feel free to change some settings in this step though.
