Artist, Peter Stapleton explains how to effectively apply textures to your artwork for the best results.
Applying textures to your images in Photoshop is a great way to add details and realism to your artwork. But it’s not as easy as it sounds.
The trick with using textures is to blend them seamlessly into the rest of the painting. You know you’ve gone too far when the underlying form starts to become lost. They should be used subtly.
