Be sure you've signed up for the mailing list, so you can be notified when the new set is released! :) This is the image I am creating in the video below:  Watch The Video:After blending my photos with textures, sometimes I land on one I can just "see" as a painting. So I take the image over into Procreate to create a painting. I have been sticking to a certain style as far as my Procreate paintings this year...you can see them all on my personal art website. Many of you have asked me how I do my paintings in Procreate, so I thought I'd do a demo video. It actually ended up being two videos. I hope you enjoy watching the process!  "Keen Sense" Part 1 and 2 of the Videos Are Below:In this video, I demonstrate how I did a simple head swap on the bird, and then I take you through the creation of the artistic image using textures and resources from the collections at the bottom of this post.

When I'm photographing wildlife in the field, I often come out with photos which are too dark. I try to remember to adjust my exposure compensation UP to get it right in camera, but sometimes I forget and I'll have photos which appear unusable. However, they can be saved in many instances! By using "Screen Mode" in your layers panel in your photo editing software, you can brighten a photo which may be too dark - instantly! I did a short video showing you the process here: In this video, I take you through a composite image I'm creating, using three of my photos from a recent outing. These are the three photos I used:

Be sure to see my other videos on the site to learn how I do my masking and other work in Topaz Photo FX Lab. And if you want to learn how to do this type of work in Photoshop, I recommend this course, which is the most comprehensive Photoshop course on the planet!
In this video, I go over my layers panel and explain what I did to create this hawk art, Basking In The Sun.
Don't be afraid to experiment with multiple layers of texture, both under and over your image, to create the overall look you want for your art. Don't be afraid to adjust color tones, saturation, exposure/brightness on the texture layers to make them compliment your original photo perfectly. Don't be afraid to adjust layer opacity and do masking on texture layers. Just because a texture is presented in a certain color tone, or brightness/darkness level doesn't mean you have to stick with it the way it is! Sometimes I'll use just a small part of a texture, or accent, to create a look in a small area of the final work. Experiment, have fun, and lose yourself in the process of creation!
