Demo: Paint Brush Stroke
Source: https://codefronts.com/motion/css-page-transitions/paint-brush-stroke/
A wide organic bezier brushstroke sweeps across the viewport — overlapping waves with ink texture and rough-edge noise. The accent colour shifts per page. A contemporary art gallery.

Demo: Paint Brush Stroke

A wide organic bezier brushstroke sweeps across the viewport — overlapping waves with ink texture and rough-edge noise. The accent colour shifts per page. A contemporary art gallery.
