The Illumination Texture Collection and Splendid Spring Collection

1/31/2016

 

Introducing Two New Collections!
​The Illumination Texture Collection and the Splendid Spring Texture Collection

Illumination Texture Collection
Arrival of the Redtail - wildlife art
Let's finish off the month with two brand new texture collections!  First, we have the Illumination Texture Collection - featuring 28 textures filled with wonderful color and glow to majestically enhance any subject.  And then we have the Splendid Spring Collection.  This collection also features 28 textures, from soft and subtle to funky, impressionist style in appearance, for your spring subjects.  The Spring Collection was inspired by the newly released color palette in the Pantone Spring 2016 collection, so I'm sure you'll enjoy working with these fresh and vibrant colors. :)  Both collections are $10 off each through the end of February 2016, too.  Enjoy!

A Moment To Myself Texture
What Goes On Below - Hawk Art
Today's Daily Texture is another filled with gorgeous light, this time from below.  I paired this one with one of my hawk photos, first as a background.  Then I duplicated the texture layer, leaving this duplicate UNDER the bird photo layer, and set it to multiply at 50%.  I desaturated the layer quite a bit to keep the yellows under control.  Then I duplicated the texture layer again, and placed this one on top, setting it to soft light at 50%, also desaturating this layer.

​Heat It Up

Heat It Up Texture
Isn't it funny how we wish for cooler days in summer, and in winter we wish for warmer ones?  I was wishing for a warm summer day when I painted this fun texture!  Filled with brilliant yellows, oranges and reds, along with some heavy brush strokes and deep texture, I hope you'll enjoy this abstract texture as much as I do!  I paired it with a photo of a gorgeous bird I see every summer - The Summer Tanager.  His red color was a perfect match for this one.  I used the texture as a background and also as a soft light layer on top, set to 50% opacity.

Lavender Mish Mash Texture
Ok, so Today's Daily Texture is pretty abstract.  It's also filled with the beautiful colors of Spring!  You may find it more challenging to work with, but, what fun is life without challenges? :)  I paired it with a brilliant yellow goldfinch.  The yellow on his head matched the yellow in some of the wild strokes, so I thought it might be fun.  I have thousands of photos of these birds -- all taken in similar areas with similar lighting.  This is where the fun of using textures come in...because that makes where the original photo was taken totally irrelevant.  By using textures, each similar photo can now become a totally unique work of art, each different from the next!
Abstract Goldfinch Art
I used the texture as a background and also as a soft light layer on top set to about 40%.  After merging the layers, I duplicated the final image and took this duplicate into Topaz Impression. Once in there, I ran one of my custom presets I made which boost the color a bit and soften things overall.  It made the image a little too soft for my liking, so I set this impression layer on only 50%, allowing some of the original photo+texture to come through from underneath, yet still keeping some of that painted layer in place.

01/25/2016 - Spring Fantasy

The Daily Texture for 01/25/2016
Spring Fantasy

Spring Fantasy Texture
Tired of winter?  Here's a colorful Spring abstract texture to lift your mood!  I paired this texture with a photo of one of our neighborhood kitty cats.  I love the way his fur tones and blue eyes look with the texture.  I worked the texture in as a background {the same way I describe in my video for the Nature Splash Collection} and then duplicate the texture and placed it on top in overlay mode at about 50%, just to pump up the brightness and saturation a bit.  I also layered the texture again on top in soft light mode at about 30%.  Then I decided I wanted the kitty to appear more painterly, so I ran just his photo layer through Topaz Impressions, picking one of my custom presets I've made that just soften things slightly.

Horses In Winter Texture
Wild Winter Day - Horse Art
Today's Daily Texture is an abstract one, inspired by the muted leftovers of a winter snowstorm we just had here in Tennessee.  I paired it with this wild white horse, first as a background and then as a couple of layers in low opacity on top.  Then I decided I wanted things to be a bit softer, so I took the merged image into Topaz Impression and ran a couple of my favorite presets on it to give it a more wispy and painterly feeling.

Snowy Path Texture
Step Out In Faith - Baby Deer Art
Since we are getting blanketed in snow today, I thought it was appropriate for another winter texture.  I used this texture as a background for this sweet little fawn, masking away a good part of his feet to blend him in with the snow on the ground.  I added snowflakes from the Winter 1 Collection to give him a true sense of the season.

Challenged - Cardinal Songbird Art
Today's Daily Texture is a bold mix of reds paired with winter blues.  I used this fun texture with one of my cardinal photos.  The poor little guy was missing his tail, and I thought he deserved to be showcased!  I put him off to the left side, leaving empty space on the right for interest.  I used the texture as a background, and also placed it on top in multiply layer mode at 20% just to tone down the brightness a little and to allow him to pick up some of the color from the texture.

Veil of Winter Texture
You can turn any subject photographed in any season into a winter one with Today's Daily Texture.  That's exactly what I did with this Zebra photo.  How often do you see a Zebra in the snow?  Probably not often, but because I'm the artist, I decided to create it using this texture, both as a background and as an overlay. :)  To further enhance the scene, snow was added from the Winter 1 Collection.

The Light - Bald Eagle Art
Today's Daily Texture is another one filled with fabulous lighting - perfect for your birds in the sky or any subject where you want to add a beautiful glow!  I used this texture with this bald eagle photo.  Because the sky was plain blue with no distractions, I did no masking.  Instead, I placed the texture on top in multiply mode {with a bit of this layer masked off the face} and then duplicated the texture and placed it on top in soft light layer mode at 100% to enhance the glow and color.
