CoffeeShop "Swirly Painterly" Fine Art Texture!


I have a real texture addiction, both making and using them.

Today I have a new fine art texture I call "Swirly Painterly".  I kept this one in B&W so it won't change the color of your original image. I like to use it in Soft Light or Overlay blending mode.

I used this lovely flower image and beach grass image in this post.


Today I also wanted to show you how I combine  several of my textures and an action to create my own fine art. If you want to follow along with me  I have links to everything I used in this edit.

CoffeeShop Fine Art Tutorial: 


I found this lovely photo and wanted to make it darker, so I added a Levels adjustment layer (without any changes) and put that layer in Multiply blending mode.


Next I added one of my dramatic Beach Skies Overlays in Multiply blending mode. Tutorial is here.


Then I ran one of my favorite actions called "Fashionista Luxe" on the image. I love this so far!!!



Finally I added my "Swirly Painterly" texture, from this post, on top twice under the Matte layer.

I put one layer in Soft Light blending mode, 30% and the other on in Soft Light blending mode, 100%. I think this really creates a lovely piece of art.


 I would love to see your own work using my freebies on my Facebook page.
