The Daily Textures for 07/25/2015 & 07/26/2015
Summer Skies 1 & 2

Summer Skies 1
Summer Skies 2 Texture
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.
