The Daily Texture for 04/27/2015
A Joyful Welcome
Like this texture? Buy it here for only $2. Commercial Use OK. | Today's Daily Texture is filled with a splash of brilliant yellow in the midst of soft green. It's perfect for highlighting a subject, as I've done here in the example image. Because my bird was photographed in bright yellow-green grass, it was easy to mask away most of his background {leaving a little showing for perspective}. Now instead of being lost in the blades of grass, the focus is squarely on this new visitor to our gardens. I didn't use the texture as a layer on top at all...I simply used it as a background here, with the bird gently faded in using masking. However, this texture is a good one to use alone or in combination with other textures. It works well in a layer mode such as overlay, soft light or hard light to add a splash of brightness to your finished work. If the yellow becomes too much in those layer modes, you can always desaturate the texture layer, which will enable you to acquire the light from the texture but not the strong yellow color. Alternatively, this is a great texture to use on your Spring and Summer yellow flowers. In fact, I have a yellow Iris I'll be using this one on soon! |
