The Daily Texture for 04/19/2015
Specks In The Sand

Specks In The Sand Texture with Brushstrokes
In keeping with my sudden desire to visit the beach and feel the sand between my toes, Today's Daily Texture features a variety of colors seen in sand, from light to dark, along with some brushstrokes.  I paired it with the next dog in my Spirit Of The Dog series of art, a delightful Cairn Terrier.  First, I placed his photo as a layer on top of the texture and masked away his background, revealing the texture underneath.  I then duplicated the texture layer and placed it on top, setting it to multiply layer mode at 50%.  I duplicated the texture layer again and placed it on top, setting it to overlay at 50%.  This brightened things up, but the color was too saturated, so I desaturated this overlay layer completely to finish out the image.
Like this texture?  Buy it here for only $2.  
Commercial Use OK.
