The Daily Texture for 08/03/2015
Enchanted Summer Stream

Enchanted Summer Stream Texture Background
Little Bandit - Raccoon Art
Today's Daily Texture encompasses rich greens and browns and a glow of light, everything you might find when you discover a glittering stream flowing through the middle of the forest on a sunny day.  I used this texture with a photograph of a raccoon I saw last week in Shiloh, TN.  The little guy was right by the side of the road and I jumped out of the car to get closer.  As I approached him, he stood up tall and posed for the camera.  And then he was gone just as fast as he appeared, disappearing into the safety of the forest.
I masked away his background, gently blending him in with the texture underneath.  Then I  placed the texture as a new layer on top, setting it to multiply at 30%.  I duplicated this texture layer, and changed the new one to soft light, still at 30%.  Then I merged the image and darkened the bottom edge slightly to complete the art.
Like this texture?  Buy it here for only $2.  Commercial Use OK.
