The Daily Textures for 07/25/2015 & 07/26/2015
Summer Skies 1 & 2
 |  |
Today I'm featuring a pair of Daily Textures - Summer Skies 1 and Summer Skies 2. Both with glorious blue/green skies and a ground area to place your subjects. Having a pair of textures and a subject in different poses can allow you to create two completely different works of art using the same subject, as I have done here. I had photographed this zebra a year or so ago at our local safari park a couple of different ways. I used two photos of the same zebra as reference photos for a pair of zebra paintings. After completing each painting, I then combined them with the two textures featured here. On both, I masked away the background behind the zebra {which was white as I didn't paint that}, and I gently masked some of the ground level on the zebra paintings away to partially bring in the ground level from the texture, creating a nice mix of the two. Then I duplicated the texture layer and placed it on top, setting it to soft light layer mode at 100%. After merging, I brightened each image in my photo editing software.
Like these textures? Buy Summer Skies 1 here and Summer Skies 2 here. Commercial Use OK.
