For this sample I made an alpha brush out of the ball and set the spacing to 14 and did a new dynamic of opacity -fade, size -fade, and angle -direction. There are so many ways you could do things with brushes in 2.8 its amazing. Getting a smear blur would be hard to do but I'm sure there is a way.

Where's the control to change the spacing? I see some of these but not all of the settings. I'm not using a pad, just a mouse. I haven't had a great chance to really familiarize myself with 2.8 100%. Summer time is do do do do do around here. If 2.8 were release when it was still cold out I'd would have found it by now!
A screen shot of that section would be worth a 1000 words!

I stroked a path with an alpha of the ball using the pencil tool, then stroked the path using the smudge tool, then stroked the same path again using the convolve with blur settings and got this.

All the strokes were applied using the Fade Tapering Dynamic in GIMP 2.8. And the blur is all see through since it was made using an alpha channel filled with black.

Convolve? Ok, where's this one? So much hidden stuff!!!
