1) Start out by using a medium sized and airbrushing in small lines and dots of similar colors to make something that looks like the picture below. |
|
|
2) Next, use the smudge tool (R) in an up and down, left to right movement untill you can see something similar to the image below or until you have the desired effect.. |

3) Now your going to use the blur tool (R) and at a strength of 50% and blur some of the edges and in the middle a bit. Note: You do not need to do a lot of this 3.2- This is important. Take the dodge tool, and at an exposure of 25-30% and put the range at highlights randomly go over the "clouds" or whatever you wanna call them. Now do the same thing with the midtones range. Repeat step 3.2 if necessary. 3.3- I smudged a little bit more after step 3.2 was completed... keep that in mind. |

4) Now , Duplicate the layer. On the duplicate layer, go to edit--transform--flip vertical, and then edit--transform--flip horizontal. Then move them next to eachother. 4.2- Merge the two layers together. 4.3- Go to edit--transform--perspective and change it to something like below 4.4- I used the blur tool to smooth out the sharp edges. |

All you have to do is figure out how to integrate this into your abstract image! PS:
