The Daily Texture for 03/30/2015
Afternoon Storm - Brushstrokes

Afternoon Storm - Brushstrokes Texture
Today's Daily Texture is another featuring the heavier brushstrokes in dark, dramatic stormy colors.  I paired this texture with the photos below.  The sparrow was perched on a fence, and his background was completely blurred.  Because there wasn't distracting detail in his background, I was able to simply place the texture on top in a couple of layer modes.  First, I chose multiply and set it to 30%.  I masked a tiny bit of this layer off his back where his golden feathers are, as this layer mode made his feathers more blue.  Then I duplicated that layer and set it to hard light at about 30% as well.

The Harris Hawk had a very distracting background, so in this case, I removed (masked away) his background completely, and I placed him on top of the texture.  Then I duplicated the texture layer and moved it to the top, setting it to soft light at 100% to make the colors richer and add a bit more light onto his face.
Like this texture?  Buy it here for only $2.  Commercial Use OK.
